Three Israeli personalities launch a cookbook for people who do not cook

Liel Eli, Bar Elmalih, known as “HaPshuta,” and Nadir Eliyahu launched their new cookbook, “Cookbook for Non-Cooks,” at the Book Week event in Sarona, Tel Aviv. The three met fans, signed copies, and presented a project built around a simple idea, people who are not confident in the kitchen can still make dishes that look and feel homemade.

The article portrays the trio as aware that none of them is a classically trained chef. At the launch they joked about who is worst in the kitchen, who burns things, who came up with a decent recipe, and which sauce has become a daily staple. Their message was that fear of cooking can be overcome with confidence, humor, and one reliable sauce.

The book is aimed at readers who think they cannot cook, but want straightforward recipes without endless instructions or intimidation. The event included plenty of banter, mutual teasing, and surprise praise, with the writers offering a recipe list that sounds more appealing than expected.

One highlighted combination mentioned at the event was egg, avocado, bread, and Knorr sweet chili sauce, which had already become a recurring favorite. Asked what comes next, the article says the atmosphere suggested this is just the beginning, with more food-related projects likely to follow, though slowly. For now, the focus is on the book, the autographs, and three creators admitting they do not always know what they are doing in the kitchen, but doing it with style.
