Russian comfort food is making a comeback in Israel
On a recent trip to Israel, my husband and I took a taxi to Bat Yam, a workingman’s town located a stone’s throw and a world away from the uber-cool city that is Tel Aviv. We went to eat Russian food in a community filled with immigrants from the former Soviet Union.
My goal? To learn whether the cuisine had moved out of the home and become part of the multifaceted prism that is Israeli food today.
