Zahav, Federal Donuts Founders Joining 'Taste Of Israel' Event

PHILADELPHIA – Two of Philly's most prominent culinary names will join a special "Taste of Israel" event this weekend that will feature the flavors of Israel cuisine.

Michael Solomonov and Steve Cook, of CookNSolo Restaurant Partners, will oversee the exclusive kosher, modern Israeli cuisine at B’nai Abraham Chabad’s "A Taste of Israel" gathering at 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 10.

"A Taste of Israel" is this year’s theme for B’nai Abraham Chabad’s tribute event.

Not only will there be tons of Israeli foods, the event will feature an intimate talk with Solomonov and Cook, during which guests will hear first-hand how Solomonov and Cook found culinary success in Philadelphia where they joined the ranks of America’s most celebrated chefs.

"We were looking for a way to present a five-star Israeli cuisine experience while also adhering to kosher guidelines," Rabbi Yochonon Goldman, spiritual leader of B’nai Abraham Chabad, said. "When we approached Chefs Solomonov and Cook, they happily agreed to share their award-winning cuisine with the community for this festive occasion. We are very much looking forward to gaining an insider’s look into their unique story and discover what inspires them to be so passionate about what they do."

You can reserve your spot at the event online here. The cost is $180 per adult and $144 per child.

Solomov and Cook’s cookbook, "Zahav: A World of Israeli Cooking," has won two coveted James Beard Awards.

B’nai Abraham Chabad is located at 527 Lombard St. in Philadelphia.
