Aisha Ibrahim was born in the Southern Philippines before immigrating to the United States as a child. Having no previous interest in cooking or hospitality, she first attended university on abasketball scholarship before shaking up her more traditional career path to leave behind a full ride to pursue her culinary career by attending the Le Cordon Bleu program in San Francisco at the age of 20. She graduated from the Le Cordon Bleu program, and launched her career in the Bay Area to hone her skills as a cook at notable restaurants such as Aqua, Commis, and Manresa where she eventually became a sous chef before moving to the Basque Country to train at Azurmendi. She was quickly tapped to become Chef de Cuisine for Eneko Atxa’s Aziamendi (listed as one of the World’s 50 Best’s original six restaurants to watch) in southern Thailand. Throughout her career, she has spent time at some of the best kitchens in the world including Manresa, Azurmendi, Kagurazaka Ishikawa, L’effervescence, & Ryugin. She accepted the executive Chef position at Canlis Restaurant in 2021 becoming the seventh executive chef in its 73 year history. She was most recently recognised as a 2023 Food & Wine Best New Chef.
