Dahbi was born in Rabat, Morocco to a family of foodies. His late father was the main inspiration behind his passion for cooking. Khalid left Morocco at the age of 14 to continue his studies in Switzerland; in 1998, he was featured on Basel TV [8]for his volunteer work at a children’s charity in Frenkendorf, Switzerland. Khalid had always dreamed of becoming an actor and went on to become a professional chef after rejection of his application to “Cinema Citta” in Rome, Italy.[citation needed]
