This year, the Israeli cuisine month is all about home and the connection between our home experiences and memories to the food we love and cherish.
Adeena Sussman is a lifelong visitor to Israel, who has been writing about Israel's food culture for almost 20 years. Adeena cooks and writes in Tel Aviv, where she lives right by the Carmel Market. She is inspired by the market's people, places and flavors. She became friends with the market sellers and restaurateurs and considers them as her community.
Adeena is the author of New York Times bestselling cookbooks. Her book, "Shabbat: Recipes and Rituals from My Table to Yours", is a practical guide to Shabbat cooking and Adeena’s personal exploration of the meaning of Shabbat in modern times. Shabbat is the follow-up to "Sababa: Fresh, Sunny Flavors from My Israeli Kitchen", which is also a best seller.
On the tour she will take us to a delicious journey through the main part of the Carmel Market and into the tiny side streets of it, and also to the Yemenite Quarter. We will meet the colorful people of the market and taste their unique food.
Then we will visit her house, where we’ll hear her career story and taste a few small bites, made by her and taken from the pages of her books – a special opportunity for an authentic experience.
