Saïd M’Dahoma is a French-Comorian-Canadian pastry chef in Calgary. Born and raised in Paris where he studied neuroscience, Saïd moved to Alberta after earning his PhD, to work at the University of Calgary. Fuelled by nostalgia, in his free time, he started recreating dishes of French and Comorian cuisine. Over time, his passion for food overcame the one for science which led him to switch careers and become a full-time pastry chef. Saïd now gives French pastry classes in Calgary, on TV, and to an online community of more than 200,000 students across the world. He was named one of the Calgary Herald’s Top 20 Compelling Calgarians and was a champion for Canada Reads 2025.
