Yaniv Cohen

Yaniv Cohen’s passion for food began at the age of five, when he was put in charge of helping his mother cook and set the table. He grew up in Israel, but his mix of North African and Middle Eastern roots helped shape his eclectic and unique dishes. He was fascinated by the colors, scents, origins and properties of the spices used in his culture and explored the endless possibilities of food presentation.

As “The Spice Detective,” Yaniv’s goal is to incorporate spices into delicious dishes that benefit health and wellness. He is chef and owner of JAFFA in the Miami Design District and leads culinary trips to Israel, celebrating the land and cuisine.
