Hawa Hassan

Hawa Hassan is a culinary triple threat: dynamic chef, recipe developer and entrepreneur. She's the founder and CEO of Basbaas Foods, a line of condiments inspired by her home country of Somalia, a fast-growing brand that has been featured in Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Eater and more. Her first cookbook-meets-travelogue, In Bibi's Kitchen, shares recipes and stories from grandmothers—or bibis—in eight African countries, bordering the Indian Ocean.
