Seduction Meals is thrilled to present a six part series called Vietnamese Splendor, featuring easy-to-prepare home cooked meals by one very talented man, Moshe Aelyon, who knows a thing or two about creating provocative settings to celebrate life, love and fantasy.

It is rumored that when Prometheus stole fire from the gods a small ember fell to earth and remained aglow for centuries until a mortal capable of wielding such an inferno came to be....this is his story. The Story of Moshe. Just kidding. Moshe isn't this super mortal, although I sometimes wonder...

Tastemaker, trendsetter, style maven, passionate foodie - Moshe Aelyon brings fantasy and flair to life's rituals and celebrations. While Moshe Aelyon Studio provides an array of creative services, we will focus on his extraordinary talents as an event designer. Seduction Meals is honored to present a 6 part-series titled Vietnamese Splendor, which includes a selection of Moshe's favorite home cooked Vietnamese dishes. But enough about Seduction Meals for a moment, let's learn about Mr. Aelyon.

Born and raised in the variegated republic of Turkey, Moshe  reflects these eclectic roots in all of his fantastical creations by drawing from the past and looking to the future. After a career in fashion, Moshe found that he had a penchant and flair for entertaining. His unique approach and style creates a one-of-a-kind ambiance, indulges all of the senses; and leaves guests asking for his number.

As a culinary artist, Moshe paints with texture, taste, color, smell and sound. His philosophy embraces simplicity and discipline. Clean lines, distinct patterns and a whimsical confidence that reminds us that the process should be just as fun as the product. His finished work is a unique experience that is impossible to forget. His range spans from a private engagement for two (If you are looking to create a Seduction Meal Extraordinaire), to launching products for international corporations. He has produced events for U.S. Senator Hilary Clinton, NBC, The New York Stock Exchange, Miramax, and General Electric.

Obsessed with food his influences are the Turkish, French, Sephardic Jewish, and Armenian Cuisines he grew up with. Food is one ritual he believes helps us all to Celebrate Life!
