Our story
From My Family Kitchen to Yours
Why I started this
Hi, I’m Doron. Doron's Israeli Kitchen started with a simple idea: I wanted to share the food I grew up eating with our neighbors here in Connecticut. I’ve always loved to cook, and this is food I make almost every week. Now I want to go back to sharing it with my community.
I was born in Rosh Pina, a small town in northern Israel, where food has always been at the center of our home. Every meal was an event: salads on the table, warm pita fresh from the bakery, and the smell of cumin, garlic, and lemon filling the house. In 2021, my family and I moved to Stamford, Connecticut — and I found myself missing those flavors more than I expected. I realized I wasn’t the only one.
A family business
Now I cook once a week for my community. I’m married to Cynthia, and together we’re raising three kids — Yonatan, Gavriel, and Daniella — who all have strong opinions about what makes it onto the menu. Cynthia and the kids taste-test every recipe, and Cynthia is my toughest critic of all.
“Cooking has always been how I show love — hosting friends and family, feeding a full table, and cooking up a storm just because I can.”
If you really want to make my day, skip the flowers and bring me a good kitchen knife — or Lego — instead. And if you’re ever curious what it’s all about, I’d love for you to come by and taste it for yourself.
What I cook
I use fresh ingredients, Israeli spices, and traditional techniques. Nothing fancy — just real Israeli home cooking. I hope every bite reminds you of gathering around a table with people you love.
