Israel

Thanks to my generous HB I got to enjoy cooking for our anniversary/Xmas/NY gift. Orly is so friendly and knowledgeable and we had amazing food to start at the Carmel market (post later) and then bought a bunch of fresh ingredients to cook at her home!

I forgot a picture of my favorite green hummus and the malabi dessert but here are the 6 other dishes we made, all requested by us! My favorites were the challah bread (omg so cute the braids), hummus and the best falafel balls with the right crust and flavored insides 😋 we also enjoyed a lovely white wine with the meal.

If you’re interested in healthy and tasty cooking, check out Orly’s book Cooking in Israel! Can’t wait to make these recipes again 💗 #cookinginisrael #orlyziv #drklingcooks #besthubbyever #cookingisfun #telaviv

I just wanted two baklava...... The vendor at Carmel market didn’t understand my no 🙅🏻‍♀️ and continued to pack a variety of pistachio-, cashew-, almond-, cheese-filled baklava and kanafeh. For 60 shekels (~20euros) 🤦🏻‍♀️ I knew I shouldn’t have gone to buy them on my own.....

the pistachio and cashew baklava has some crisp but still had too much honey/syrup. Tried the Swiss roll looking pistachio filled baklava and that one has much less syrup and a nice crisp! ✌🏼 still, I think it’s gonna take me twenty days to finish since I only can bear to eat half a piece each time...... Luckily it’s nicely packed.
