A guest chef and a hosting chef, a restaurant that disguises itself and a team that swaps places, why not, actually. A dish that receives its own spotlight (and walls), but also a "hole in the wall" worth mentioning. Eilat and Haifa, Sharon and Shfela, and Tel Aviv (but not just it, in any way)

In short, get the scoop on Israel's food news. And this time - friendly packages to the point of saturation and cuts that will last you until Independence Day, meals ready for a small gathering, and a traditional touch feeding celebrations for 76 years. And that's just the first course.

Bon appétit!

The delightful deli of Adi and Oren in the Nahalat Yehuda neighborhood covers all possible corners for you daily and every weekend practically, so no wonder the family is going all out for Passover too.

What to order? Salad refrigerators await with Waldorf (NIS 89 per kilo) and spicy Moroccan carrot (NIS 59 per kilo), home-made horseradish and of course, tahini eggplant, fiery red shakshuka, and quinoa tabbouleh, chopped liver (NIS 99 per kilo), pickled herring (spicy or friendlier), egg salad, and an intriguing vinaigrette salad in Russian style.

From there, onto the sides like crispy oven-baked potatoes (NIS 49 per kilo), at least four versions of rice (white and festive, Oshpelo, and with added tarragon-almonds), colorful antipasti, gefilte fish, and a lively chicken soup that will go alongside, cigars stuffed with pulled meat, tzimmes, and stuffed grape leaves.

The mains ramp up with grilled lamb chops and shawarma, lemon chicken stew or Gondi, spicy harissa and festive shoulder of lamb with almonds and root vegetables, and also slices of tongue (NIS 145 per kilo), meatballs in hummus-tahini sauce and an impressive Asado stew with Jerusalem artichoke.

More? Fried sole and Danish fillet, brisket and salmon, and also fish patties - why not after all - and jars of pickles, spreads, and hot sauces.

To finish off, because we haven't eaten enough, there are also decadent and kosher desserts in parallel, including baked cheesecake and crunchy pistachio cream pie, rich chocolate soufflé, and deep and smooth fudge.

Another chuckle is the self-assembly of full meals for the indecisive, organizing for you a holiday table without mistakes - from six diners who only eat vegetarian to ten hungry meat lovers.
