We must be sympathizing with you abroad as the weather has been crazy mad in the last couple of days. Winds that whisk off the dead skin cells never mind your hat, with a dusty yellowed sand landing on everything with a surface inside and out. Dustbins with lids flapping, [...]
You already know that I am fond of my food. I enjoy almost of what is served to me, more so because I don't have to negotiate with a temperamental oven or extinguish the burning saucepan that I forget on the hob. All that said, this Mondays " luncheon" was just exceptionally [...]
One of the pleasures of the weekend is to rise gently from a fitful sleep without a brain drilling alarm in the knowledge that someone else will organize a delicious breakfast. Breakfast in Tel Aviv is a common social occurrence but more so on a Saturday. It's an ideal [...]
