Please join us as the Tallahassee Jewish Federation presents the final film in the 2017 Jewish film series – In Search of Israeli Cuisine. Israel’s food scene is among the most dynamic in the world, extending beyond falafel and hummus to include tasty ethnic and regional specialties. Having won the James Beard award for embracing these authentic flavors, Israeli-American Solomonov returns to his homeland to discover his culinary heritage anew. From Tel Aviv’s most exclusive eateries, to street bazaars, to simmering pots in family kitchens, In Search of Israeli Cuisine excites the taste buds with multi-cultural recipes passed on and elevated. But even food is not immune to sectarian conflict, as Palestinian cooks chafe when their savory secrets are adapted by Jewish chefs. Equally eye-opening is the story behind the ingredients that Israel produces using both ancient farming techniques and high-tech innovations.
Combining a procession of mouthwatering dishes and interviews with chefs, home cooks and farmers of all backgrounds, Oscar-nominated documentarian Roger Sherman presents a diverse portrait of the Israeli people told through the very personal language of food.
The film will be presented on Friday, Nov. 17 at 6 PM and again on Sunday, November 19 at 4 PM and 6:15 PM at All Saints Cinema 918 Railroad Avenue.
We have also rescheduled the second showing of The Settlers, which was cancelled due to Hurricane Irma. The film will be shown again on Sunday, Nov. 26 at 4 PM and again at 6:15 PM.
