Israeli Birthday Cake
Every birthday deserves a great cake. This iconic, cocoa-based, richly iced cake fits the bill.
Chocolate Babka
This babka is so easy, baking it almost feels like cheating. I have a hard time not eating it as it comes out of the oven.
Israeli Chocolate Spread
Chocolate spread permeates Israeli meals and is even packed in army supply kits.
Falafel (Chickpea Patties)
Falafel is sold on street corners in every city and town in Israel.
Hummus (Chickpea Dip)
Like techina, or sesame paste, hummus was brought to Israel by Jews from Arab countries, though today it is everyone's favorite. It tastes best when eaten with fresh, warm pita bread.
Techina (Sesame Seed Dip)
Brought to Israel by Jewish refugees from Arab countries, techina is a thick dip with sesame seeds as its base.
Baba Ghanoush (Eggplant with Tahini)
In Israel, it is not unusual for guests to drop in for a visit without prior notice. In such cases, they are likely to get a light snack or impromptu meal.
Tarato (Yogurt Soup)
This cold soup is particularly suitable for hot summer nights in Israel. Yogurt, the main ingredient, has been a popular food in Israel for many years.
