Shahir Massoud’s culinary journey began in 2009 when he decided to push aside his career as an accountant to move to New York City and pursue his dreams of becoming a cook. He attended the French Culinary Institute where he worked and learned in the kitchens of Lupa, Del Posto, and Jean-Georges.
A few years later, he returned home to Toronto, Canada and helped open a growing chain of Italian restaurants. In 2016, Shahir’s career took an unexpected twist! He was cast as the culinary expert co-host for the CBC daily lifestyle show The Goods. Shahir hosted 260 episodes where he led cooking segments, interviewed guests, and hosted game shows.
Since then, Shahir has fully embraced the dynamic world of food media. He uses his food media expertise to provide recipe development, food styling and writing services for clients. He regularly performs for Buzzfeed, Munchies, and the Marilyn Denis Show.
