Food & Drink

Like everything in Israel, international trends are instantly adopted. But in the case of food, Israel's scene has emerged as an international trend setter. Haters will continue to claim that there is no such thing as Israeli cuisine. It's Polish, Palestinian, Russian, Moroccan, African, American French ... you name it. With every wave of new immigrants, came a list of new influences to the Israeli palate. So, how exactly, did israeli cuisine manage to stand out as original and innovative. Well the recipe is in the very criticism. Israeli chefs have managed to take the best of all the cuisines that make up the mosaic of tastes and flavours, expertly blended the aromas and textures while exalting the local produce. Rather than try and emulate international cuisine, they turned a mish a mash of ancestral Jewish recipes to craft a culinary experience which is truly authentic and personal.
