Steven Rothfeld, a world-class photographer, spent several months traveling through Israel to explore the vibrant food scene. The locals guided him from one great restaurant to another, and to growers and producers of fine foods as well. This book is a delicious compilation of stories, recipes, and stunning photographs of Israel's food culture today. From north to south, Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, chefs and food growers have branched out from a vast array of cultural influences and traditions in Israel's history to create fresh, contemporary fusions and flavors. Rothfeld's friend Nancy Silverton contributes ten dishes inspired by the delicious fusion styles that are taking the Israeli culinary community by storm.
Steven Rothfeld is a photographer specializing in luxury imagery. His food photography has recently been featured in French Comfort Food and Le French Oven (both by Hillary Davis). He divides his time between photography destinations throughout the world and his home in Napa Valley, California.
