Being Abroad

I just got back from 2 weeks in Israel. The food was interesting at best b/c being on a planned trip left little to the imagination and hardly any options. Now that I am back, I do want to experiment with the flavors and tastes in a way I didn't get too while I was there. Did you know there was an on going debate as to whether or not Israel has a national cuisine. I would say yes....while most recipes do have an eastern European roots, you can see the influence of all the cultures that sought out safety in the homeland and how that has shaped their food.

Check back for some Israeli influenced recipes....but there might be a break on Hummus. I think I ate enough for the next year and need a little break!
