As a chef, my signature style involves crafting indulgent meals using premium ingredients, all while maintaining a budget-friendly approach. Hailing from a family with a rich culinary background, I've globetrotted, taking diverse cooking courses and experimenting with bold flavors. During my five-year stint in Hawaii, I found joy in cooking on yachts, sailing the Hawaiian ocean. Now a proud resident of Santa Monica, I invite you to join me on a culinary adventure through my lens, where I'll not only showcase delicious meals but also teach you how to create them yourself.

I'm a Los Angeles-born Israeli American chef, specializing in raw bar items such as oysters, crudo, tartar, and caviar. Currently heading the raw bar at "Chateau Marmont," my culinary style leans heavily on the use of top-quality ingredients to ensure optimal flavor in my predominantly raw creations. My ultimate goal is to craft the perfect bite that immediately captivates the soul upon tasting. Nothing brings me more joy than seeing a satisfied face at the end of a delightful culinary experience.

Embarking on my culinary journey as a self-taught chef at the age of 27, I am a proud native of Los Angeles. My humble beginnings as a dishwasher paved the way for a rewarding ascent through the culinary ranks, eventually landing me the role of Sous Chef. Rooted in the vibrant culinary landscape of LA, my cooking style is a testament to the richness of seasonality and the allure of local ingredients—bold and rustic, mirroring the dynamic flavors of my hometown. With a genuine passion for creating dishes that resonate with both the palate and the soul, I aim to share the simple joys of my culinary perspective and love for the craft.
