Spoiler Alert... Alba, did you get to page 145?... The author of Confessions of a Kitchen Rebbetzin is no other but Gil Hovav - one of the most brilliant, eloquent people I've ever known and had the pleasure to work with.

Ochel by Assi Haim<https://hederochel.jux.com/> and Ofer Vardi, I love cookbooks. I found the hederochel<https://hederochel.jux.com/> web page which is entirely in hebrew. There are some recipes on the page but I couldn't find mention of the cookbook as such. And while we're on the topic of cookbooks, I must tell you a little story about my never ending search for jewish books in Spanish. In November 2012, I had a revelation. I calculated that a cheap-o air ticket in the off-off-off season to Israel costs less than the postage when buying the same number of books I wanted to buy on-line. So I volunteered for Sar-El<http://www.sar-el.org/> and bought myself a cheap-o air ticket. Before coming back to Spain on Mar 8 after a 3-week stint, I donated all my clothes but those on my back to charity and converted my entire baggage weight allowance into books bought mostly at Steimatzky's. Mission accomplished. Though I didn't save a cent, at least I broke even and got a great vacation to boot. Instead of spending my cash on shipping and handling, I shipped and handled myself for the same price. On the weekends, I got to look at every single book personally, take advantage of some 2-fer-1 sales and whatnot. Not only that but I had the best rip-snorting time ever folding sheets, moth-balling sweaters, lacing up boots and issuing gun belts to boys and girls over the counter in the Quartermaster Supply Station. COOKBOOKS I pawed through every single cookbook on Steimatzky's shelves. I would have remembered Heder (Chadar) Ochel for its interesting subject matter had it been on the shelves amongst the others, but it was not. Nor was there a single cookbook in Spanish (actually it is appalling the large amount of nothing in Spanish there is; after 16 years I still can't figure). I did find two other, cutting-edge, modern cookbooks translated from the hebrew. These two cookbooks have nothing to do with the lore, history, nor recipes of the kibbutz kitchen, but I bought the following two cookbook on a whim and have not regretted it. They are both excellant and a lot of fun: ISBN 9789659147205. Sweet Secrets. Carine Goren. "...the Baking Guru of Israel, has been whipping up a delicious frenzy across her country wih her Sweet Secrets dessert cookbook and hit television program of the same name.... was first published in hebrew in 2006 and it is still going strong, having remained on the Israeli bestseller list fror an extraordinary 150 weeks." ?Dana Code: 0002000526986 (I can't find an ISBN number; but I did find a telephone number). Confessions of a Kitchen Rebbetzin. G.H.Halpern<http://www.haaretz.com/weekend/week-s-end/tel-aviv-s-favorite-foodie-finally-caters-to-english-readers-with-new-cookbook-1.476415>. Frog Publishing, Modan Publishing House. From the introduction: "...Chicken soup?Falafel? Hummus? Shwarma? Or maybe the in-flight entertainment magazine brings you to the weird conclusion that we all eat organic quinoa decorated with pomegranite seeds. Wrong. Pizza is what we really love! Accept the fact that you're clueless about Israeli cooking ....".
