Chef Nader | Syria
Did you know that Syria is one of the oldest continuously inhabited countries? This historic culture boasts incredibly flavorful Levantine cuisine, characterized by use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including blends. Often, if there are five shawarma stands in a neighborhood, customers will find the one whose spice blend is their favorite and become a regular lunch customer! Chef Nader is originally from Syria and relocated to Jordan, where he spent a decade honing his culinary skills, particularly in baking and desserts. In August 2023, he moved to the United States with his wife and five children. He began his culinary journey as a chef at Gonzaga and is currently working at Alpine Bakery. Chef Nader is excited to cook at Feast, serving delicious dishes like Chicken Shawarma, Baklava and Knunafe.

Chef Angel | Uganda
Born and raised in southwestern Uganda, she grew up in a culture where meals were about much more than food—they were a time for laughter, connection, and community.
After moving to the United States, she went more than five years without enjoying Ugandan food, believing the ingredients she needed weren’t available. When she eventually discovered that many of those familiar ingredients could be found here, she was excited to reconnect with the flavors of home.
Now, through Feast World Kitchen, she is proud to share the rich flavors and traditions of Uganda with the Spokane community, creating the same warmth and connection she grew up with while introducing others to dishes that hold a special place in her heart.
