In his newest cookbook and culinary resource, Lior Lev Sercarz hones in on the everyday ingredients used throughout the Middle East. Lior offers an in-depth look at the production, history, cultural resonance, and storage of each pantry item, then shares an array of recipes crafted for home kitchens. It’s an instant classic that you’ll return to again and again.  

Join us at Sofra to welcome master spice blender, author, chef, and dear friend Lior to celebrate his new cookbook. We have never met someone as passionate and knowledgeable about spices and that is what makes his food so special! Lior will demonstrate how to make his all-time favorite dessert, kunafe; shredded phyllo filled with cheese and soaked in honey syrup. He will answer questions about his book and personalize your copy for you. Then, we will enjoy an array of dishes from A Middle Eastern Pantry prepared by team Sofra.
