🇮🇱 AN INTRODUCTION TO ISRAELI COOKING

Welcome to the one week taster of the Israeli course which looks at the food you'll find on kitchen tables around Israel which is heavily influenced by the mix of cultures that inhabit the land and its surrounding neighbours. You'll be trying your hand at making Bourekitas - a pastry which was brought over from the Greek- and Turkish-Jewish diaspora as well as Babka which has its origins with the Ashkenazi Jews in Ukraine, Russia and Poland. This course is designed to give you a sample of our full 3 month course which traces the journey ingredients and dishes took to get to the kitchens of Israeli homes. In what’s one of the most contentious pieces of land in the world, exploring the origins is a complicated and messy task since often they appear in different forms across modern country borders throughout history but food is a great way of learning about an evolving culture.
