Experience

Zoë has made a name for herself in LA as the antidote to fine dining fussiness. Her style of food and events is playful, innovative, and harnesses the bountiful ingredients that make Southern California such a special place to cook and eat. After starting Cafe Xoho in Tel Aviv 14 years ago, she quickly generated a strong following with her flair for weekly specials and creative combinations, which caught the attention of the NY Times.

Zoë moved back to the States in 2017 and traveled around cooking her style of food for anyone willing to join her. As a Pasadena resident and lover of all things LA, she channels the power of inviting people into her special garden space to cook and eat alongside her for her MouthBrain events, and hopes to share more of her cooking magic with a growing audience.

Favorite food: "My favorite thing to eat is still a bowl of cereal. Hands down. Once a kid, always a kid!"
