Hey everybody! I’m Nadim “Chef Smoove” Sammur—a self-taught chef, storyteller, and content creator originally from Dayton, Ohio, now based in South Texas. My love for food started in my grandparents’ kitchen at age 7, and ever since, I’ve been using flavor as a way to share stories, celebrate culture, and bring people together. From engineering grad to global asset manager by day and soul-food chef by heart, I started sharing recipes online in 2020—never imagining how far this journey would take me. What began as late-night meals for college roommates evolved into Smoove’s Kitchen, multiple cookbooks, catering events, and community impact initiatives. Whether you're here for bold plant-based plates or Southern-inspired comfort food, I create recipes that are easy to follow, packed with flavor, and filled with love. Food from the soul, for the soul. Every dish tells a story—thanks for being part of mine.
