My passion for cooking had started from childhood, inherited from my Russian Moroccan parents, who are also in the culinary arts. Since then many years have passed but my passion of cooking stayed the same. I have gained experience working in some of the top restaurants in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and currently New York City.
