Jewish Book & Arts Fair: In Search of Israeli Cuisine

What is Israeli cuisine? Chef and James Beard Foundation Award winner Michael Solomonov travels all of Israel, meeting an eclectic group of professional and amateur chefs, cheese makers, vintners, farmers and fisherman who draw on their own ethnic heritage as they add to the ever-growing lexicon of Israeli cuisine. As Solomonov immerses himself in local flavors of the 100+ cultures that make up the Israeli people, Oscar-nominated documentarian Roger Sherman offers a behind-the-scenes look at a dynamic Israeli food scene rooted in centuries-old tradition.
