Cariema Isaacs is a South African food writer, chef and entrepreneur based in Dubai, where she attained her culinary diploma at the International Centre for Culinary Arts. A marketing graduate, Cariema currently works for a multinational company in the Middle east. She maintains that it's the ever-changoing landscape of the oil industry and corporate world that fuels her culinary creativity and her love for writing. An active food blogger on social media, she has also published two cookbooks. Her first cookbook, published in 2016, was a heartfelt tribute to her father, inspired by her recollections of growing up in Bo-Kaap, the Cape Malay Quarter of Cape Town, South Africa. Cooking for my father in My Cape Malay Kitchen was followed by Spice Odyssey, which was nominated for the Gourmand Culinary Awards 2020 in the category of spices. Cariema lives in Dubai with her two sons and husband, Turhaan Samodien, a budding photographer. Curried is their first collaboration. See less
