From Kitsch to Netflix

around the world, but that wasn’t always the case.

Beyond Bamba: What is “Real” Israeli Food?
We can all name foods that we regularly eat in Israel – falafel,
hummus, shakshuka – but is there really such a thing as Israeli

Experience Israel through cooking and baking – learn about
the ethnic groups that make up the Jewish people and hear
the stories behind the different dishes. At the end, enjoy a
delicious Israeli meal. Each workshop is about three hours. A fully
equipped kitchen is required.
