Sour fruit has a secret – dust it with salt and a hidden sweetness emerges. I roasted chicken with sour plums and a little sweet white wine.
Street Portraits, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem
Many of my photos I’ve kept in my archives, thinking I’d post them here someday. Some involve stories I’m not at liberty to tell. Some evoke a mood that lives, I guess, in my mind alone. But many are of plain, human faces caught in moments of humor, irritation, thought. The unconscious dignity of labor [...]
I’m loopy over fresh figs; such a seductive fruit. And I love the fig tree, especially on hot summer nights, when the big, coarse leaves smell deliciously like vanilla and cinnamon.

Ooh, do I get the first comment? I love your new look! It’s eye-catching and suits your blog perfectly. Enjoy.
Thank you, Hannah! Just between you and me and the Net, I identify with the medieval maid stooping over the barrel of grapes…for some reason. I’m really glad you like the new blog.
Oooh, swanky new digs. It looks great, congratulations. I love the new Historical Recipes tag – food history is a favorite of mine. Have you ever read Reay Tannahill’s Food in History? It’s absolutely fascinating.
Congratulations on your new blog .Great new look, although there was nothing wrong with the old one.But this new one is neat! Did you make it all by yourself? I wish I could do some drastic changes with my food blog…..
Hi, Robin! Thanks for the compliment. I’ve been so immersed in setting up the new Israeli Kitchen that I haven’t done justice to your own new photography site – but give me a day and I will. I didn’t know of Tannahill’s book, but will look it up.
Yaelian, I’m glad you like it. No, I couldn’t have done this without technical help from friends. There’s going to be acknowledgments and thanks on the home page as soon as the text goes through – I’m discovering that not everything you want to insert happens right away. I see you have a gorgeous new header on your blog, very warm and Israeli!
congrats on the very good looking new blog! just one thing – the rss feed doesn’t work and it should
Long-time lurker finally commenting to wish you הצלחה in your new home! Looks so warm and inviting — just like your gorgeous food-photography!
Congrats on the new site, Mimi! Everything looks great!
Thanks for the compliment and the heads-up, argus. There are still a few wrinkles to iron out here. I’ll work on that rss feed.
I love it when lurkers come forward and let me know. Thank you!
Thanks, Jendeis. As I replied to argus, there are still some glitches to fix – but I’m happy the new Israeli Kitchen pleases.
Titchadshi on the lovely new site!
תתחדשי on the new design! Renovating the blog is always a nice feeling
Thanks, Mrs. S. and Liz. I’ve enjoyed designing the new site, although there are still a few things I haven’t worked out yet.
