We are rethinking what healthy eating means thanks to Saudi culinary influencer Bakur Tamim, who has over 300,000 Instagram followers.
In addition to providing his audience with alternatives to boring salads and tasteless protein shakes, the culinary maestro from Jeddah is renowned for creating mouthwatering, low-calorie meals that are both aesthetically pleasing and nourishing.
Healthy eating does not always have to equate to deprivation, says Tamim. No meal has to be a work of culinary art in terms of flavor and presentation—one can have rich desserts without feeling guilty. One delectable video at a time, that’s the world Tamim is building.
He has developed several recipes, including indomie lasagna, healthy takeovers of popular desserts like cheesecake and cookies, and homemade ketchup.
His path to become an influential figure in food culture is driven by enthusiasm. Tamim is a doctor by training, having completed medical school in 2021, but his love of food and exercise has always been a major motivator.
“I’ve always enjoyed exercising,” Tamim said. “I couldn’t find enough delicious, healthful options to fuel my workouts, so I started cooking.”
His mother, a former teacher, served as an inspiration to him and instilled in him a passion of cooking from a young age.
