They are deeply knowledgeable with respect to local culture and customs, art and history, and are passionate about sharing that with all of us. They are our interpreter, local host and introduce us to the local way of life.

Nyesha comes from a family of creatives. Her father was a musician and screenwriter, her mother a seamstress. Growing up in a mixed black and Korean household, Nyesha learned to eat kimchi and gumbo from an early age. Her grandmother introduced her to cooking at age four; she’s been experimenting with flavors ever since.

Nyesha's culinary journey has taken her from her classic French training at the Art Institute of California to the iconic restaurants of Joël Robuchon and to the sets of Top Chef, Knife Fight and Iron Chef America. She's been a driving force in the Los Angeles dining scene, earning her Eater LA’s "Chef of the Year" and praise from the late, great Jonathan Gold. She loves to discover commonalities across cultures and can’t wait to experience Morocco through her favorite medium—food.

We will meet and spend time with local community members, weavers, artisans, vintners, producers and many more. All of our local experts are excited to help us learn more, experience more, and have the best possible experience together.
