Asma (Samy) is the Owner and Executive Pastry Chef of “Moroccan Biscotti” (http://www.moroccanbiscotti.com), an online gourmet treat business. Since 2004, her gourmet biscotti have been a favorite gift for local corporate clients and have enjoyed a loyal following amongst “treat-lovers” in South Florida and around the country. Truly unique—and anything but traditional—the fresh spices and ingredients in her biscotti are inspired by the flavors and textures of her native Morocco, and are a little smaller and sweeter than Italian varieties.

In 2008, the Miami Herald published a feature article about Asma and her gourmet treats. This February, Moroccan Biscotti will participate in the South Beach Wine & Food Festival—one of the largest food festivals of its kind in the world.

Her past culinary resume includes an exclusive night of Moroccan cuisine event at Williams-Sonoma in Miami where she demonstrated and prepared a variety of Moroccan dishes for a gathering of food enthusiasts.

Asma was born and raised in Casablanca, where her family still resides. She earned a bachelor degree in Hospitality Management in 1992 from Florida International University, and worked for many year’s in the local restaurant and catering business. In addition, Asma is a practicing realtor with Fortune International Realty (http://www.samychabbi.com) in Coral Gables, Florida.
