About this event

In partnership with the Oxford Cultural Collective

Sarit and Itamar opened Honey & Co. – a modest, whitewashed restaurant serving Middle Eastern food, on Fitzrovia’s Warren Street, in 2012, before launching their restaurant Honey & Smoke: Grill House and deli Honey & Spice: Food Store. After 10 years, Honey & Co. is now at home on Bloomsbury’s Lambs Conduit Street. In September 2023, the couple opened Honey & Co. Daily, their new deli, bakery and café on Store Street, London.

Their debut book, Honey & Co: Food From the Middle East (2015), was named ‘Cookbook of the Year’ by The Sunday Times (UK), Fortnum & Mason Food & Drink Awards ‘Cookery Book of the Year 2015’ and The Guild of Food Writers’ (UK) Award Winner for ‘Best First Book’. They have written three more books, Honey & Co: The Baking Book, Honey & Co At Home and most recently Chasing Smoke: Cooking Over Fire Around the Levant.

They host a podcast, Honey & Co: The Food Sessions, which won ‘Fortnum & Mason Podcast of the Year 2021’, talking to influential guests from the food and drink industry, and they write a recipe column for FT Weekend.
