I got to class after a very long day where I used almost every possible land vehicle (bus, train, car, taxi, train, bus, car etc etc)... Had to go up north to the northern boarder of Israel with my work and then was in a hurry to make it to class. It was worth it!!! I thought I'd be too tired and that my attention span won't be so good, but I was proven wrong. We are 12 in class, 11 women and one

The moment I have been waiting for has arrived. I cannot even describe in words how excited I am about tomorrow. For the past six years I was dreaming of taking this Pastry Chef course, life took me to differnt directions until I made up my mind and set a goal of going to study professional baking no matter what. So I finished my BA, then I started my MA and all the time this dream was there.

So it has been a while. I have been into so much, less into cooking more into eating, traveling and hosting people from far away. So I need to catch up and get updated with all the new events in the foodbloogsphere. I would like to share a nice visit I had to the market next door. I am saying next door because it is literally two blocks away from where I live. In Tel Aviv there are basically two

Well, Scott from The Real Epicurean was kind enough to check my blog a couple of times and asks me if I forgot blogging. So my answer is, no! I did not forget blogging but so many things have happened in the past few months that I hardly had time to write. I turned 27, I feel a but old now, things are not as they used to be... Especially the body, it totally changes its shape as we grow older. So

I am trying to juggle everything but with no success... Running from University to work then from work to the gym than running home to cook... and all of this without even having a family not to speak of a partner!!! CRAZY! So apologies (mostly to myself I suppose) for not keeping up with the writing. I Still read my favorite food blogs, trying to keep in touch with "the scene". What I seriously

I was so busy cooking that I simply had no time to update my blog. Amongst my latest "creations" is a delicious Orange Cake. I saw the recipe on the Internet last week and thought it will be nice to try it. Lately I noticed a pattern in my cooking behavior - I never follow a recipe from start to end, I always alter something, add or change. Same happened here. So I bases my recipe on the one I

Today when I left my house I finally saw that I got the post office notice letting me know I have a package waiting for me. I could not resist and though I was awfully late for work I decided to go fetch it! I was very impatient to see what I got. There were two packages from Scott at Real Epicurean The first thing which really excited me was to see "Royal Mail" print on the box. I am such an

I think I never been to two very good meals in two very good restaurants in such proximity as last Sunday and last Monday.Last Sunday evening I went to Nanuchka (which I wrote about in my last post) and last Monday I went to PASTIS I had to organize a farewell event for my boss and the idea was to have an Art Gallery Tour and to end it in one of Rothschild's blv. Restaurants. The boulevard on its

I am sooo excited!!! Jeanne at Cooksister has just received my parcel and blogged about it in her very eloquent fashion, she also took pictures of what I have sent and it is quite exciting to see something you sent described and photographed by someone you don't know at all... I am touched!!! And in general very enthusiastic about this whole EBBP idea!!!Here is the AWAME recipe I sent Jeanne

Culinary and the Food insustry in Israel evolved immensely since the 1980's. It is true that during the 80's my life just started (if to be precise,exactly in 1980) but luckily I was born into a family with real passion for gourmet food and eating out. Anyhow, during the 80's there were just a few very good restaurants around. In the 90's the restaurant business really started to bloom. Since I

It is the first time I gonna participate in Blogging by Post event and I am extremely excited about it. Since I will be sending off my parcel tomorrow only I cannot say much about it. But I promise I will add more "meat" to this post once the package will reach its destination. For more info please browse Johanna's blog My Parcel is on its way... I want to write all about it but am afraid to ruin

Well, as I mentioned last time I wanted to prepare a special Brunch for my parents, my very tiny way to thank them for all the help they have given me in the past year and especially in renovating my apartment.The whole of last week I was busy planning, shopping and preparing for this Brunch. The final Menu included:Bruschetta Benedictian StyleCrumble de Courgettes aux Champignons (Zucchini and

I have been planning to write my own entry about my "essential" 5 foods for almost a month now. As you notice it got delayed all the time and I simply decided to write otherwise it will never happen. Before I write about these 5 dishes I must say that Melissa Kronenthal initiative and blog The Traveler Lunchbox are superb!!! Beside the interesting foods and thoughts that one can read on the site

I haven't written in quite some time because I was busy moving into my new flat. The feeling is just great and the flat came out to be very very cozy and pretty. Typical to a food/ cooking obsessed person the first place I organized was the kitchen. Last Friday I went on shopping for my "storeroom". I went to what known as the "Spices Market" or in its local name " Levinski Market" (located on

I personally LOVE parties, and I love organizing them and thinking who to invite, what to prepare. Than when everyone is there I am in complete ecstatic mood! So one of my best friends will celebrate his Bday a week from now. However, we are all gonna be at this seminar and we wont be able to properly celebrate his Bday. So another friend and myself thought we should organize a Surprise Party a

I am in the process of moving to my new apartment... The renovation is nearly finished and the excitement levels are high!!! Anyhow the apartment is in a south-east neighborhood of TA. It is what we refer to as a working class neighborhood. The nice thing about this neig. Is that its not fancy and the people are very warm and welcoming. And the even nicer aspect of it is the variation of ethnic

I cannot believe it is Sunday again. I woke up for a black day 24 soldiers killed in Lebanon. Regardless of what I feel about this war, and whether it is just or not hearing these horrible news can ruin your day. Since this war started I haven't eaten out - simply because of the general blues I and everyone around me are in. However, I found cooking to be a very effective resort. So this

I am not very good at writing but I thought having my own blog will allow me get better in it. For the past month I have been browsing and surfing in so many cooking blogs that my apetite to have my own blog grew. I never thought I will have a blog, but I guess "never say never" applied once more...So this is a starter, I'll see how I feel about it. My intention is to write a little about cooking
