About the Author

Haya Molcho loves to cook and to travel. Born in Tel Aviv, she relocated frequently and was always on the move - with her parents as a child, then as an adult, alone, and later with her husband, the mime artist Samy Molcho. On her travels she experienced the cuisines of the world and developed her unique culinary style: typically Israeli, yet also international. In 2009 she opened thefirst NENI restaurant in Vienna's Naschmarkt with her sons, Nuriel, Elior, Nadiv and Ilan. The idea of bringing Mediterranean and Levantine food culture to Europe's cities was a success: today there are NENI restaurants in Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Cologne, Zurich, Vienna, Amsterdam, Mallorca and Paris, as well as a cooking school and product lines.

The gorgeously produced Tel Aviv: Food. People. Stories......celebrates discovery....The inviting images...are so illuminating and life-affirming that you might fantasize about stepping into them, like a hungry bibliophile's looking glass that transports you to another realm.-- "Forbes"

Think of the most welcoming family-style dinner you've ever attended, where the variety of flavors on the table was matched by the warm hospitality of the hosts and guests....[Tel Aviv] is an exciting tome that encapsulates all that is Tel Aviv food culture...Each recipe is accompanied by striking photographs...as well as information on the history and importance of each dish, plus narratives about the people [the authors] met along the way.-- "Woodbury Magazine"

What I really love about this book are the stories that go along with the recipes and we all know that the best way to get to know someone is to have a meal with them. We get shared food, shared stories and shared fun reading this.-- "Reviews by Amos Lassen"
