Wife and husband team Raegan Steinberg and Alex Cohen opened Arthurs Nosh Bar, named after Raegan's father, Arthur, in St. Henri, Montreal, in 2016. Before opening Arthurs, the pair worked at some of Montreal's best restaurants, including Joe Beef and Mandy's. Since the great success of Arthurs, Raegan and Alex have opened two more restaurants in Montreal: Dirty Greens and Patzzi. This is their debut cookbook.

Raegan Steinberg (@arthursmtl) is a 40-year-old self-proclaimed "retired" cook in charge of business development at Arthurs Nosh Bar HQ Inc. Co. and married to her partner in work and life. Her love of food started at a very young age; she believes it was a genetic disorder passed down by her father, Arthur Steinberg himself. She started her career at Mandy's Gourmet Salads and the now defunct Java U Catering, then polished her chops at the Art Institute of Vancouver. Since then, she's worked at famed restaurants such as the Blue Water Cafe and Joe Beef. This laid the foundation for her career as a professional butter pasta maker, or as her kids call her, "the best cooker." The rest is left to see: She hopes to build a global Arthurs empire, with a location in every major city, taking pancake batter and sprinkle cookies international. She dreams of retiring in Vermont and opening a small business there with her husband, summering in Italy, and eating her way around the world with her family.

Alexander Cohen is the co-owner and executive chef of Arthurs. Before becoming a self-taught cook, he was the popcorn boy at the late, great Blockbuster, then a professional gamer. One day, he hopes to open Nothing but Butts, a restaurant that only serves the butt-ends of foods. His most embarrassing kitchen moment was melting 36 liters of deep-fryer oil through a garbage bin and staying four hours late to clean the entire floor. As for hobbies, he has none, but is working on it as per his therapist's recommendation. Raegan and Alex live in Montreal with their children, Freya and Abel, who are their entire world. They also shared their home with Pumak, their beloved Alusky dog, who was as much a part of Arthurs as anyone else.
