Cooking Classes & Food Tours in Israel

You will have a very unusual experience with me during this day. We start with breakfast in Carmel market. You will learn about the Israeli cuisine through learning and tasting different ethnic foods & spices along the tour through the market. We will shop for the cooking class at my home. You will cook more than a full meal 6-7 dishes with the fresh ingredients from the market based on local traditional - Mediterranean - middle-eastern recipes and I will share with you all my cooking secrets! I will set the menu upon your requests and preferences. We serve Israeli wine with the meal. You will get to know my family (at least part of them will join us for lunch:-) You will get an apron & a recipe booklet to take back with you as a souvenir. Israel has such a good food to offer to you. You will experience the best food attraction in Israel!! People mostly like the cooking tips & techniques and the homey relaxed atmosphere. 'Cook in Israel ' is my cookbook of Israeli home recipes.

Our group was a little bigger than what Orly usually takes, but she happily allowed our group of 8 to join her in her cooking class. We were four adults, two tweens and two teens, and the class was an absolute highlight of our time in Israel. We met in the Carmel Market, where we both shopped for food and tasted different foods. From learning (and tasting) the different local breads to the coffee to the most delicious hummus (still dreaming about that hummus!), we worked our way through the market. We also learned about different chick peas, fava beans, and spices. From there we traveled to Orly's house where the cooking began in earnest. Everyone took part. We all made tahnini cookies, shaped pita bread, and worked on salads. My daughter loved making homemade cous cous (I had no idea that one *could* make homemade cous cous) while my son enjoyed frying up falafel balls. At the end, we all sat down to a delicious meal together. The best thing about Orly's class is that she communicates with you ahead of time to find out what you want to make, what you like and don't like. She was able to accommodate all of us. Orly's class is truly fantastic and I would not only recommend it, I'd take it again to learn how to make new Israeli treats!

Galileat

Are you travelling in Israel and looking for something off the beaten track? Galileat brings you different types of activities that the whole family will love.Makluba, Hubeza, Sinya…Maybe you've heard the names but never realized that it's authentic Galilean food. Galileat gives you an authentic experience that will make your trip to Israel an unforgettable one. We will show you Israel through the eyes, and palate, of a local. Our culinary adventures allow the participant a hands-on, true to life cultural immersion. It is a unique experience, unlike anything else you've ever done in Israel. You complete one of our cooking workshops having learnt how to cook something that you might, or might not have heard about , having eaten what you prepare with your host, and will understand a little better how people live in the rural Galilee. Oh, and let's not forget…it's a whole lot of fun!!!We have Druze, Moslem and Christian hosts, all of whom exemplify the middle-eastern custom of hachnasat orchim; warmly welcoming guests into their homes. The day starts (after tea and coffee, of course) with approximately 3 hours of hands-on preparation of traditional dishes. In the winter and spring, it is many wild greens, picked fresh from the fields. Late spring and summer, frikki (smoked green wheat) is on the menu. The menu changes seasonally, in keeping with the cycle of life in the Galilee. Once we have finished preparing the delicacies, we all sit and enjoy our feast. Culinary tourism is not just about good eating. That you can do at home. It's about exploring foreign cultures through taste, smell and experience.
