The Land of Milk and Honey
Volume 1
by Daniel Rogov
To walk through any of the souks, the well known open air markets of Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Beersheba, Haifa or Uhm al Fahm, is to be joyfully inundated with a visual, culinary and aromatic feast of the spices, herbs and foodstuffs that come together to make up the collective Israeli palate. With a bit of luck, this pamphlet will serve as an introduction to the many pleasures of the diverse and often marvelous Israeli table.
Enjoy.
