What drives Hakim

Hakim loves the thrill of culinary discoveries during his food trips, without in any way denying his pleasure in returning to the comfort of dishes already previously explored. He also loves the vibrant pace of Marseille and the hustle and bustle of Paris, unexpected encounters, experiences, and memories shared with friends and family.
