Yoezer Wine Bar! Unsurprisingly, in my TLV’s Top 5!

Sometimes, you just feel like Getting Away From It All-
And when that happens to me, and I can’t grab a last minute ticket out of here, I head for Yoezer.
Yoezer, for me, is one of those rare spots which when I am sitting there, makes me feel like a million bucks.
The atmosphere of course, is [...]

Yoshi! in my TLV’s Top 5!

“Japanese food and TLV.” 
Hmm. Something in this sentence seems wrong…
Well, until Yoshi (Yossi Holu) came along, that is.
I’m very sorry to say this, but the fact that there are “Sushi” bars on every block in TLV, does not mean for ONE SECOND that I would eat at these places-
In fact- I would not send my [...]

“it’s Complicated”- Anise!! what did you THINK i was going to say?!!

I can hear it already- a deafening roar of outrage and offense, at the very mention of the dreaded word- “Anise” !!

but that’s about the end of the similarities between me and [...]

Rice Papers- part 2- the yummy, greasy part!!

Ok!!  I admit it- I’ve been  little lazy in posting this part 2 of Rice Papers-
But I have a good excuse! It’s the holidays here, and, I must tell you-
I made the mistake of drinking RUM last night, and well, you know how that can end- And it doesn’t usually end in being able to [...]

2009 Oyster Season part 2

Hi again!!  did you miss me?! Did you run out last night in search of a plate of oysters?! hope so!
Well, as promised, I am continuing my post about oysters..

And one of the very best oysters in the world, in my opinion, is the Kumamoto.
It is a tiny oyster, and almost round.
It is now, like [...]

Vietnamese Feast in tel-Aviv!!

Before I start to get into a load of verbiose detail, (you know, the way I like it- )
I would like to say that Vietnamese food happens to be one of my absolute favourite cuisines on the Planet- 
It’s supremely delicate, full of freshness and lightness, is technically demanding, aesthetically beautiful, yet relies first and foremost [...]
