Figure

A chef and baker, Erez Komarovsky is considered the godfather of Israeli baking and one of Israel’s most prominent culinary figures. Erez is one part of "Erez and Hanan" the high-end catering company, head of the “Galilean Cooking School” in Matat, founder of the legendary "Lehem Erez" and the author of many cookbooks. He partakes in special culinary projects and is a mentor and judge on "Game of Chefs", a cooking competition show currently broadcast on Israel’s Channel 13. Over a decade ago, Erez moved his residence from Tel Aviv to Mitzpe Matat, in the Galilee. His connection to the land and the opportunities created for him by nature on a daily basis were an invitation to a new phase of creation. His culinary fingerprint consists of plenty of organic vegetables freshly picked from the garden beds he cultivates with dedication, free range Galilean meat and poultry, and breads and focaccias baked in succession in his tabun clay oven. All of these distinguish Erez’s Galilean culinary identity. On this episode of What's Burning, Erez Komarovsky’s chat with Host Mitchell Davis includes conversation around Israel's idiosyncratic culinary scene, recognizing food comes from nature not suppliers and bringing one's personality to an onion.
