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.</p>https://asiansinisrael.com/2026/04/shamsiam-thai-cooking-rehovot/Sat, 11 Apr 2026 14:00:00 +0300https://asiansinisrael.com/2026/04/shamsiam-thai-cooking-rehovot/<p>Eli Shamsian grew up in a Persian household where food was the language of love.
