It all began at my grandmother's small but ever fragrant kitchen in Jerusalem.That's when i was first exposed to the colorful ,flavorful eastern european
balkan cuisine and all the palate wealth it offers
While studying law I began working as a line cook in several restaurants. Upon finishing law school
I decided to enroll in New York's C.I.A
(Culinary Institute of America)
.of which I became a dean's list honored graduate
I spent the next few years as an executive chef of two restaurants in Manhattan
In 2010 I fulfilled my dream and opened
Saro Bistro" in Manhattan's lower east side"
Named after my grandmother Sara's nickname.
We became a Michelin Guide recommended restaurant in New York within one year, and maintained that honorable title throughout our five year operation there
Ever since then I have been offering a boutique catering service for a variety of events and celebrations
My guideline is creating a perfectly tailored menu for my customers and their particular celebration

I would like to recommend Eran warmly. As a naturopath who pairs ketogenic diets for my customers,i was proud to offer Eran's creations to them.Delicacies any Michelin starred restaurant would take pride in putting ontheir menu.

I have had the pleasure of Eran's cooking in various events by now.Often in family gatherings and sometimes in celebrations with friends. Each time i was happy to have received a full experience,thoughtful and tailored to me specifically.Every time a got his sense of giving through the food, always in a manner of depth and rooted creativity. I remember especially a white bass filet crusted with pistachioas well as the vareity and colorful .
vegetable which made me not regret choosing a vegetarian lifestyle for a moment.Eran always tailored his menus to fit: carnivore s,vegans,vegetarians, celiacs and everyone left super satisfied
