ShamSiam
ShamSiam is a Thai cooking workshop and private chef business run by Chef Eli Shamsian from his kitchen in Rehovot. Shamsian, who grew up in a Persian-Israeli household, draws a direct line between Persian and Thai communal dining traditions — both built around many dishes shared together at the center of the table.
He offers a range of workshops including classic Thai cooking, Thai grill, vegan Thai, Asian dumplings spanning Chinese, Japanese, and Thai traditions, and Thai street soups. Workshops run about four hours for up to 12 participants, with a recipe booklet included. He also provides private chef dinners, corporate events, and occasional pop-ups at venues around Israel.
Shamsian trained alongside Thai street food vendors over many years of travel and worked at leading Thai restaurants in Israel before launching ShamSiam. He is available at his Rehovot kitchen or travels to client locations.
