Orange County Jewish Arts Festival - Michael Solomonov and Steven Cook: Zahav Home

Michael Solomonov and Steven Cook
Zahav Home

Professional chefs manage to make whipping up rich four-course meals with complex sauces, amazing garnishes and decadent desserts seem easy. But even for them, cooking at home for their families, night after night, isn't so simple. What will the kids actually eat with no complaint? Do I have the ingredients I need? Can I come up with a full dinner that won't take another two hours out of my day?

Award winning chefs and bestselling authors of the James Beard Award-winning Zahav, Michael Solomonov and Steven Cook get it; they both have children at home, run six restaurants and write books. They have now created a new cookbook, Zahav Home, filled with the tips and recipes they use themselves that will help take the stress out of your dinner conundrums without sacrificing the wow factor.

Michael Solomonov and Steven Cook are co-owners of the trailblazing Philadelphia-based hospitality group, CookNSolo Restaurants, and beloved stewards of Israel's extraordinarily diverse culinary landscape. Together, they have been awarded three James Beard Foundation Awards, with Michael awarded two additional Beard Awards for his work as Chef of Zahav, including 2017 "Outstanding Chef.” Zahav is their flagship restaurant that is widely recognized for celebrating the multitudes within Israeli cuisine in the U.S., and around the world.

The duo have also co-authored three highly acclaimed cookbooks - Zahav: A World of Israeli Cooking (a two-time James Beard Award winner), Federal Donuts: The (Partially) True Spectacular Story, and Israeli Soul: Easy, Essential, Delicious.

Join us for a delicious dinner featuring recipes from Zahav Home, followed by a cooking demo and Q&A. Cookbooks will be available for purchase at the event.

VIP: includes event ticket, signed cookbook, and pre-event reception with the authors at 6 P.M.

Israeli wine flights will be available for purchase at the event for $18.
