Menu: Israel

When the storm clouds blot out the sun, do you say: “Hurrah – I love the way rain feels on my face.”

When your cup is empty, do you say: “How great to have a cup!”

When all you have are a few lemons, do you ask: “Who would like to share a splash of lemonade?”

Our week at the Israeli Global Table is a celebration of the delicious treats that can be made out of a surprising few ingredients. Treats fellow food optimists will love. (A Food Optimist is often found to say: Sure I can make something out of that – no problem!)

Are you a Food Optimist? What sounds good to you?
