Ever since she was little, Naiara Sabandar has been passionate about food and its potential to make people happy. So it was just a matter of time for her to quit her job in the fashion industry and pursue her dream.

She took courses, she travelled the world to learn and taste different cultures, ingredients and flavours. Back in her native Amsterdam, she launched Chef Nana, a culinary creative practice where she and her business partner Zana bring up new perspectives and experiences around art, food and nature.
