Chefs say – all good food has a story – that's about Leon and Sons Bourekas. When Leon's mother settled in Jaffa after emigrating from Bulgaria, she desperately searched for some way to bring food to her poor family's table. The only tool she had to work with was her making phyllo dough so she turned this poor men's food into a family business. Her grandsones added quiches and pastries to their repertoire, and their shop turned into a popular Jaffa food institution. Our choice is salty cheese and leek. Bulgarian cheese and leek stuffed generously into two layers of phyllo turn this boureka into a quiche of sorts, lightly crisped on the sides.
