This includes the influence of American foods, and the importance of vegetables in our food system. Also discover the history behind Israeli cuisine from the beginnings of the Seven Species to the social attitudes towards food in our own households, including the issues of obesity and learning to eat healthy.

"In Israel, vegetables are the core of the food we cook."
"Jewish cuisine as we know it today was born on American soil."
