BRINGING TOGETHER
CONTENT & THE KITCHEN
In May 2020, The Golden Balance was founded by Ahmad Alzahabi, a passionate content creator. Each week, Ahmad invites his audience of over 8 million combined followers into his kitchen, where he creates easy recipes inspired by his Syrian-American Muslim background and the world at large.
Founded on the idea of inspiring his online community to experiment with exciting new meals, The Golden Balance was created to share Ahmad’s personal journey and his focused vision for creating engaging, quality content.
At the Golden Balance, we’re on a mission to demystify the kitchen and inspire our community.
About Our Founder
Ahmad Alzahabi, content creator and founder of The Golden Balance, is a Syrian-American Muslim from Flint, Michigan. Growing up, Ahmad created homemade meals with his family and became inspired by The Food Network—experiences that would shape his curiosity for cooking and ignited a passion for making the kitchen a less intimidating place.
During his rigorous studies earning a Bachelor of Business Administration at the University of Michigan, he spent a summer interning at a four-star Swiss hotel in Dubai. Upon graduating and with support from his family and friends, he decided to take the leap and start sharing his journey online.
Viewers instantly connected with his approachable instructional videos, good nature, and easy-going charm, and he steadily built a dedicated audience across his social media platforms. As his community grew, so did his profile, culminating in becoming a household name with the slogans “Now Bismillah” and “Final Product.”
On each step of his journey, Ahmad is committed to sharing knowledge and creating a positive, thriving community of everyday people who feel empowered to experiment and have fun in the kitchen.
