ConteXtream FOA Cocktail Party
This Saturday my father’s company had their office event party and invited me to do the catering. First time I made something like this on my own. There were 60 guests invited but I ended up making way too much food. Learning about the quantities is something that takes time I suppose. The night went smoothly, no surprises and disasters and the food came out just like I imagined. It took a lot of effort for not only myself but everyone who help... Read More
Lunch Deliveries Special
Ordering a delivery is like double jeopardy because as well as you can’t tell how good the restaurant is, you can’t imagine how well they deliver. This is why I took the risk for you and found out what happens when you order a delivery in many restaurants, price ranges and kitchen type in Tel-Aviv area. Let’s face it: a nice lunch makes the day brighter and a bad lunch can make you feel blue all day long. Taking into account... Read More
Elba, Simple Dishes With Some Magical Moments
Celebrating all kind of stuff, we went to eat out again. This time, Elba. See what happened. Congratulations Barak for your new stuff at work. Notice how the cucumber-water is getting more and more trendy. Elba’s menu divided to small and bigger dishes from 39 NIS to 97 NIS. Being friends with Beygale we got a free bottle of wine, this is a Barkan Reserve Chardonnay 2011. This wine was a very nice addition to the meal. The service was very... Read More
Shulchan (Table), A Bumpy Road With A Positive Prospective
Shulchan, Table, is a fairly new restaurant. The concept, as I understand it: smart tasty dishes trying not to be too clever at reasonable prices. We went to try it out, continuing the whole week celebration of Omer’s birthday This is what we found out. Ambiance: many tables put close together but not over-crowded, comfortable feeling. I liked it. The cold kitchen outside in the dinning room, the decor is industrial style but not overwhelming Intimate... Read More
No Need For An Excuse To Have Some Tart
Ever since I’m back from Paris the most attractive dish I keep making is tart. “Why won’t you make Tarte Aux Pommes for us?” I keep hearing. There’s no reason why not. It’s very simple and so delicious. I expected that after one batch there will be more requests so I made enough dough to last for 4 tarts, at least. Also it was a first time for me using the food processor for the dough. Until then I always made... Read More
Beygale Event In Bagnolet: Meet Me At The ICU
Coming back from Paris to Tel-Aviv have been a cultural shock at first. My friends and family made my landing a lot softer and going almost every day to the beach also helped. Just a few days after my return I went to an event of the Israeli food and culinary community, Baygale, in Bagnolet. It seems to be a good idea to go to a French restaurant to ease my feelings from returning from Paris to the middle east, but it turned out to be the most Israeli-... Read More
Le Camion Qui Fume
One rainy morning (yes, rainy. And yes, morning!!) I woke up and went to Place de Madeleine to get a good spot on the queue to Le Camion qui fume (“The smokey truck”). I was supposed to meet Danny there at 11:30 and it was early enough, the queue wasn’t long at all. But it was awfully early for a burger and Danny, who came with the Velib (bike rental in Paris), could not find a free spot to return the bike and circled the square... Read More
Le Troquet, A Ride Back In Time
After a week in London I’m back to writing in full speed! I have so much to write about! Where I left off was already two weeks ago, so here we go. Within my Paris Restaurant Marathon I took two very unrelated friends of mine to an evening together at Le Troquet. I had so many restaurant reservations this week that I mixed up the times and thought we’re meeting at 21:30 instead of 21:00. I apologized but they had to meet and start talking... Read More
Camping: Everything Tastes Better Over The Fire
This weekend I went camping with my friends in the forest of the city Nemours. It was so much fun, reminded me of La”g ba’Omer celebrated every year with my friends in high school. We arrived Friday night and as soon as we got there, people started building the Bonfire which stayed on for the entire weekend! Why am I writing about it in my food blog? Because it was a constant eating and drinking fest! We started eating as soon as the fire... Read More
L’Agrume
L’Agrume is a small restaurant located in the 5th arrondissement of town. I was still looking for a place for dinner with mom and it wasn’t easy. I found this place to be highly recommended by many diners and it appears in the guide Michelin and open Saturday night so we decided to give it a chance, especially with the 5 course tasting menu for 39 euro, looks like a good value dinner! I really enjoyed the atmosphere, the waiters... Read More
Asian Delights Out In Paris
This month I was craving for all sort of Asian food to balance all the French cuisine. It was really really good, I love this type of food. Here are the details: On the Christmas break I went to get some Vietnamese Pho with Maureen, next to Place de l’Italy. This soup is delicious, cheap, make you full without the bad “MSG” effect. Maureen took the house special which is mixed meat. She didn't expect to be any tripe so all these... Read More
Food At Home
I have collected some recent and some pretty ancient pictures of meals I had at home in my little studio. Most are creations made from school’s leftovers and stuff I brought home, mix and matched and served, well, to me, eaten all by mainly me. I will try to remained you and myself where it was originally from with some links. Macarons and bread, 3 piping bags filled with chocolate macaron fillings. Leeks that I cooked slowly with butter. I... Read More
