Israel is about history, it’s about culture, it’s about innovation, it’s about Judaism, it's about people and most importantly it’s about food. Modern Israeli cuisine is a one of a kind fusion that blends the culinary traditions of its people who immigrated from countries such as Morocco, Russia, Yemen, Iraq, the United States, Germany and a host of other countries along with the Middle Eastern influences of its neighbors - Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Egypt. This combination of Middle Eastern flavors mixed with culinary influences from around the world has made modern Israeli cuisine incredibly diverse, unique and simply put, delicious. One cannot walk down a busy street and ignore the variety of smells and tastes that Israel has to offer.
