Embracing the rich culinary heritage of the region, she has introduced New Zealanders to the delights of Shakshuka and Baharat-spiced meats in pita bread.
her vision
Yael Shochat embarked on a unique culinary journey nearly two decades ago when she founded an Israeli Mother Cuisine-themed restaurant in New Zealand. Emphasizing the profound influence of Palestinian cuisine on Israeli culinary traditions, Yael sought to offer New Zealanders an authentic taste of the Middle East. Specializing in meticulously crafted Palestinian dishes, she remains unwavering in her commitment to sourcing only the finest ingredients to recreate the true essence of these recipes within New Zealand's borders.
At Ima Cuisine, Yael’s dedication to crafting dishes from scratch shines through in every bite. Each creation is a labor of love, meticulously prepared to deliver authentic flavors that transport diners to the vibrant streets of Palestine.
Continuously pushing boundaries, Yael explores innovative techniques to bring rare delicacies to Kiwi tables. With a commitment to culinary excellence, Ima Cuisine invites guests on a senatorial journey through the diverse and enchanting world of Palestinian food.
