I vividly remember the first time I tried eating tofu. I was 11 years old when I decided to become a vegetarian – back then, growing up in Israel in the 90’s, I didn’t know anyone else that was vegetarian, and I don’t think I even knew the...
When I think of pomegranates, so many beautiful stories and memories come to mind.. Growing up, my grandma had a few pomegranate trees in her backyard, and it was one of my favourite treats! I remember me and my brother coming back from school on hot summer days, so...

This vegan golden Borscht is packed with beautiful veggies, it is nourishing and comforting, and for some reason it makes me feel nostalgic, even though I did not grow up eating Borscht specifically. Both my mom and my grandma make an amazing tangy Kubbeh soup with...
If I had to choose one thing I would have to eat for the rest of my life, it would probably be avocado.. Guacamole to be more specific, but I just love everything avocado. One of my favourite things about living in Hawaii was the amazing, butter-like, huge avocados...
When I was 19 years old, I spent a few months in the desert, living on a kibbutz in the south of Israel. It was my first experience in a large-scale kitchen – we would cook 3 meals a day for 150-200 people, and I loved it so much..! It was a cool opportunity for...
