I’m Chef Osi — founder of Olives & Saffron and the heart behind every menu and experience.
Born and raised in Israel to Jewish parents with roots in Egypt and Iraq, and ancestral ties across North Africa and the Middle East, I grew up in a home where food was an expression of tradition, generosity, and connection. My kitchen was shaped by spices, stories, and the belief that gathering around the table matters.
Today, Olives & Saffron focuses exclusively on curated catering and hands-on cooking experiences inspired by Middle Eastern and Jewish culinary traditions. From intimate private events to community celebrations, I lead each experience personally — from concept to execution — blending tradition, creativity, and thoughtful hospitality.
My approach is simple: food should feel meaningful, generous, deeply human — and always let your taste buds dance 💃
