Join Food Celebrity Jaimie Geller to explore Israel’s vibrant culinary scene with all of its cultural richness and diversity. From Melting Pot to Fusion Cuisine: Israel has undergone a long journey from its early “melting pot” days, until today.

Years have passed and the need for such a melting pot slowly dissipated. Today, diversity is once again celebrated. Original ethnicities and backgrounds are again displayed with pride. This process is witnessed beautifully in Israel’s rich cuisine scene, offering numerous authentic restaurants and an emerging unique Israeli fusion kitchen, celebrating the fascinating mosaic that is Israel’s society.
