In 2011, after working more with spices, he opened La Bo\\xeete Biscuits & Spices, an art gallery and spice shop in New York City\\u2019s Hell\\u2019s Kitchen. Each season, the artists whose work adorns his cookie tins also show their work in the gallery.

Lior has just launched his second book, The Spice Companion, is a distillation of his 30 years of experience. This illustrated guide to 102 spices, complete with blends and recipe ideas was published by Clarkson Potter in November 2016.
