This Lawyer's part time passions will surprise you

For Ahmed Qaheri, the law is his profession and cooking his passion. He is equally energetic, be it the courtroom or the kitchen.

A trained barrister, Qaheri strikes ultimate balance between passion and profession.

Qaheri is very much active on social media and has a huge number of followers on Instagram and to them, his nickname is ‘Bahraini chef’.

Qaheri also has a lot of social interests and he plans to start a channel to actively discuss the issues faced by the youth in the region. He also plans to start specialized cooking institutes in Istanbul and in some European countries.

“I was one of the first active users of Instagram before the advent of latest smartphones. I began showcasing all my dishes along with sarcastic descriptions and it became an instant hit, especially among the youth. I also pen short comic stories based on experiences I gained from courtrooms under the title “Diary of a lawyer”.

Qaheri is also associated with ‘Productive Families Programme’ – a brainchild of the Social Development Ministry.

“I am one of the beneficiaries of the project. I prepare meals and sell them to people using loans offered under the scheme.” Qaheri also shined as a cook at the Farmers’ Park organised by the Northern Municipality. The event had about 10,000 visitors and he would prepare special breakfasts and other dishes for many of them.
