The Land of Milk and Honey

Volume 2

by Daniel Rogov

 
 
 

One of the charms of the modern Israeli table is that it features culinary offerings not only of those who have inhabited the country for many centuries, but also of the recent immigrants with varying backgrounds and traditions. In addition to presenting dishes from some of these cultures, this pamphlet features traditional Jewish, Muslim and Christian holiday fare. It also explores the long history and connection to bread and wine, and the high level of these industries in Israel today.

Enjoy.
