Celebrity chef who signed Hospitality for Humanity pledge shares stage with Israelis
Nosrat signed the Hospitality for Humanity pledge in 2023, which committed signers to “not purchasing, using, or promoting Israeli agricultural or food products.
Celebrity chef Samin Nosrat, known for her hit book "Salt Fat Acid Heat," appeared at San Francisco's JCC alongside two Israeli chefs to promote their latest cookbook, "Honey & Co. Daily: Easy Food for Your Everyday Pleasure." Nosrat, who signed the Hospitality for Humanity pledge in 2023, aimed to celebrate Jewish and Israeli food culture, urging attendees to visit a local Jewish bakery called Loquat.
The event took place two days before the third anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel. Nosrat, a first-generation Iranian American with Jewish ancestry, has been involved in the boycott targeting Israeli products, despite the boycott's critics who reject the genocide charge. The pledge has impacted Israeli and Jewish food businesses, with some owners facing economic pressure due to anti-Israel sentiment.
