Plate Project in Israel


The Plate Project’s dishes have finally arrived to Israel! 
After a very long wait, it’s actually a crazy story that I almost didn’t get the package in time, although it’s been on the mail for a long time; there was some kind of fight between the administration of the building where I live and the post office, so the mail wasn’t delivered for about three weeks. You can just imagine what happened to the Kobe beef steaks I had shipped from Japan. Anyways, they are here now so let’s get this started.

You may be asking yourself, “but what is The Plate Project?” God bless the internet: What is The Plate Project

And now that you know what it is, let me just say that I feel honored to be the ambassador of Israel in this project and that I will do my best to share with you a little bit about the food culture over here. Israel is in a strategic crossway between East and West, between Africa and Europe,  it is only natural that the plate go through here, Israel is a small country with a multi-cultural society, local Arabs and Jews, mixed with European, American, African, Latin and Asian immigrants. The variety of flavors you can find here is quite exquisite, Israelis love their food, it’s no coincidence that “Master Chef” is one of the most popular shows in the country.

The idea is that I will post pictures of local foods, share the recipes when I can and try to use my plate as much as possible in situations where I would normally have to use disposable plates. So let’s go eat out!

To welcome the plate I had a sandwich on it (chicken breast and veggies) but my friend Galie says her sandwich is more Israeli and looks tastier (she’s right).
