In Search of Israeli Cuisine is a mouthwatering portrait of the Israeli people told through their food. Our guide, Michael Solomonov, the James Beard Award–winning chef/owner of the Philadelphia restaurant Zahav, says “Israeli food is not a static collection of traditional recipes. It is an idea…a shared experience.” Solomonov introduces us to the farmers, vintners, cheesemakers, bakers, and chefs who are influenced by the traditions of the more than 100 cultures (Jewish, Arab, Muslim, Christian, Druze, Russian, Moroccan, and others) that comprise Israel today—he enters people’s lives and their kitchens to discuss their grandmother’s makloubeh recipe, their uncle’s grilling secrets, and other inspirations. It’s a delight to be in the hands of this master chef and storyteller. Praised by From the Grapevine as, “the best food documentary of 2016”.
