About the author

Natalie Shafrir

She’s a writer and producer and if she’s not on the road somewhere, you’re most likely to find her by a messy desk prepping for an event or working on an article, with a bottle of Pét Nat rosé on one side and a stack of books on the other. She has written for Delicious AU, Forbes, Haaretz, Eater, and other platforms in Israel and abroad. She is fascinated by themes of food diplomacy and conflict.
