In this upcoming episode of Baking Scraps, Lisa and Cristina are thrilled to feature Saïd M’Dahoma, also known as “the Pastry Nerd”. Saïd shares his fascinating story about why he started baking and how this ultimately led to his life’s journey from a successful career in neuroscience to becoming a full-time baker and baking instructor. We dive into his family’s vanilla farm in Mayotte, a small island off the coast of Africa/Madagascar, and how this unique connection to vanilla has influenced his craft over the years. Saïd also talks about his move from Paris to Calgary and how he’s seen the local food scene evolve during his time in the city. You won’t want to miss this one!
