That’s even without leaving our own kitchen. I am half Persian; my wife is half Hungarian, our son loves to eat Gondy (Persian meatballs) and Palachinta (Hungarian pancake), preferably on the same dinner. Neither of us can cook theses dishes at a grandmother level therefore we have to face disappointment from a 4 year old. We wouldn't mind to relax with less faceted menu. All the best from Jerusalem.

I hope you were able to make it to at least one of the Humus joints in the downtown / Ben Yahuda area. Taami is a favorite of mine. Most evenings you can find me eating at the bar at a place called Barood. I also am fortunate to get to spend time working in Jerusalem on occasion.

I haven't been to Israel since the week before the Gulf War broke out. At that time my son was going to school at Pardess Chana, and he stayed there throughout the war--though most of the other American students came home. Did you get a chance to eat at Beni Dag'im, in Jerusalem? It's been there since Biblical times (or so it seems) and is famous for amnun (St. Peter's Fish, aka tilapia). I was able to obtain from the food and beverage manager of the Tel Aviv Hilton, a man named Moisha Dayan (no relation to the general with the eye patch of the same name) the hotel's recipe for cheesecake--in my opinion, the best cheesecake in all the world. I've adapted it for American ingredients and measurements, and would be happy to send you and Dana a copy, if you would like. Hillel
