One of the first buildings constructed in Tel Aviv was demolished last week to make way for a new…tower block.

The start-budget in 2007 was NIS 31 million, today the counter stands on: NIS160 million! For more then 3 years there is a large construction-site in the middle of Tel-Aviv. A few weeks ago the subcontractor of the project went to court and tried to stop the ‘renovation’ work, because of miss-management by the main-contractor. Ruth Ronen of the Tel Aviv District Court said that the ‘renovation’ work can continue, but that tests of the structure also must continue and its stability and safety must be confirmed before the building can be used.

Female chefs of Tel Aviv in New York Times
I can dream, think, daydream about (vegetarian) cooking books, food, restaurants, ingredients AND cooking, so I was intrigued by the article “The Real Balabustas of Tel Aviv” by Anthony Grant in The New York Times Style Magazine online.

Strange… The article shows us a new generation of female chefs that is hitting the stoves. I like that. I am sure that this female touch can do magic for this world of cooking. A few of these women in Tel Aviv are: Tamar Cohen-Tzedek in Cucina Tamar, Einav Berman in Asif, and Rima Olvera with her her home kitchen in the Florentin … Read entire article »
