“Ben Gurion Rice” – First Meeting in the “Chef’s Meetings” Series
The Secret of the Kibbutz Wonder at Kibbutz Kfar Masaryk hosts a different Galilean chef once every two weeks, for a fascinating meeting about tradition, roots and the connection between food and people. As part of the meeting we will hold a cooking workshop where we will learn to prepare 2 dishes with the chef and have a great meal. The dishes will be eaten on Na’aman Porcelain, the legendary factory of Kfar Masaryk. And this time: “Ben Gurion Rice” In honor of the meeting that opens the series of events, we will return to the early days of the country to discuss one of our favorite dishes – “Ben Gurion Rice” after all, they are ptitim! Who invented the ptitim? What was the dominant trend in the 1990s? How did we slowly get rid of sodium glutamate? What has happened to us in the kitchen from the creation of the state until now? What trends have affected us all, what is over and what is left and how does all this relate to politics and economics? Israeli cuisine consists of food from Kibbutz Galuyot, which over the years has been stirred and rolled and is still evolving. Every decade there were foods that rose to prominence, new raw materials, chefs and restaurants that led public opinion. Seventy years of Israeli cuisine is packaged into a cooking workshop combined with a nostalgic, funny and love-filled lecture on Israeli food. So what will we make? Recall key foods from several decades and prepare them with updates, using only quality and healthy local ingredients. Together we will prepare recipes that will stay with you in the kitchen and at heart. We open with the nostalgia of the sixties and we will prepare the king of Israeli food, but a little different … a crazy baked pumpkin with a special secret ingredient! We will also make homemade pita bread from sourdough. A decade passes – for weddings of the seventies, we will make an amazing salad bar – a refined beetroot salad, the most delicious carrot salad there is, a tapestry of green olives, tahini in yogurt. And what about dessert? Remember in the eighties the trend of orange cake and cup of coffee … an orange cake with unconventional and especially delicious ingredients! We will prepare the cake with olive oil, semolina and other goodies! And in between we will make even more surprises! The “Ben Gurion Rice” meeting is moderated by Tal Peled-Hadar, a researcher of local cuisine and raw materials, facilitator of healthy cooking workshops, and cooking studies according to the “Food Chain – A Brief History of Nutrition” method in schools around the country.
