Step into Mokonuts, a tiny, bustling café in the heart of Paris, where the scent of a just-baked pear tart mingles with the rich aroma of slow-cooked lamb. 

Moko Hirayama and Omar Koreitem are a chef couple and culinary storytellers. Their food blends Middle Eastern warmth, Japanese precision, French and Italian flavours, and North American comfort, creating dishes that are as effortlessly sophisticated and approachable.

Home cooks are invited to recreate the restaurant’s welcoming atmosphere in their own kitchens. Divided into sections – Morning, Appetizers, Mains, Larder, and Sweet – recreate 100 delicious dishes that put this buzzy restaurant on the map.

Recipes include Labneh Toast, Shrimp with Romesco and Corn Relish, and Pork Chops with Borlotti Beans and Datterini Tomatoes to Fluffy Banana Chocolate Cake and Rhubarb Crostata. And the restaurant’s legendary cookies with distinctive flavor combinations like Tahini and Black Sesame, Aosa Coconut, and Rye, Cranberry, and Dark Chocolate.

A beautifully designed cookbook full of warmth and a global perspective.
