Classically trained and world-traveled, Chef Lior Lev Sercarz has been making his signature spice blends under the La Bo\u00eete brand since 2006. <\/span>Lior grew up in Israel at a time when the country boasted over seventy different ethnic groups, introducing him to a wondrous variety of bold flavors and spice-centric foods. Educated in France and traveling throughout Europe, South America, and Asia, he spent years training with spice mentor Olivier Roellinger as well as Daniel Boulud before founding La Bo\u00eete in NYC.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

New York-based La Bo\u00eete is a global spice brand for professional chefs,\u00a0culinary enthusiasts,\u00a0and home cooks featuring\u00a0<\/span>single and crafted spice blends sourced from the highest quality farmers and producers from around\u00a0the world. La Bo\u00eete works to\u00a0inspire how people think about, cook, and experience food and its <\/span>unique, premium spice blends transform any dish from every day into unforgettable.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lior has collaborated with culinary icons and artisans known as the \u201cSpice Masters\u201d to create unique spice blends and products, each telling its own story and designed to take the culinary experience to new heights of deliciousness. From crafted blends and single-origin spices, to specialty pantry items and culinary gifts, Lior and the La Bo\u00eete team are continuously crafting and curating products to inspire and transform.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a desire to help introduce spices into everyday recipes, Lior has <\/span>authored four cookbooks: <\/span>The Art of Blending<\/span><\/i>; <\/span>The Spice Companion<\/span><\/i>; <\/span>Mastering Spice<\/span><\/i>, which was named one of the \u201cbest cookbooks of the year\u201d by <\/span>\u300a\u7d10\u7d04\u6642\u5831\u300b<\/span><\/i> Book Review; and <\/span>A Middle Eastern Pantry<\/span><\/i>, launched in June 2023 and designated by <\/span>\u7f8e\u98df\u8207\u7f8e\u9152<\/span><\/i> as one of the \u201cbest new summer cookbooks\u201d and recognized by the <\/span>International Association of Culinary Professionals<\/span><\/i> as a finalist for the prestigious \u201c2024 IACP Awards\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He is happiest when he and a client engage in dialogue and explore their cooking styles, guiding him to make that \u201cjust right\u201d spice recommendation.<\/span><\/p>\n
