Israeli Cooking By Mildred Grosberg BeIlin (Copyright, 1964, JTA, Inc.) The cuisine of most nations is a product of centuries of growth. Israel is so young a state that it is barely patt its Bar Mitzvah year, and for several of its few years had only enough food for sub- sistence. Yet so rapidly do de- . velopments occur in this dynamic little country that already a truly national food pattern is beginning to form. Here the new cookery is a blending of the many kinds brought from all over the 'world by single families as well as waves of immigrants, a cuisine in which we find European and Western dishes with Oriental seasonings, and Oriental dishes to which in- gredients more native to the European have been added. There • are also many new ones inspired by the 'fine fruits and vegetables grown in the land of Israel. . Because today slightly more than half the population of Israel is of Oriental origin, we find that their tradition plays a large role° in the developing food pattern. In ad-, dition, because the climate of Israel is more similar to that of the Oriental countries that to that of Eastern Europe, many of the products groWn are those already part of the food habits of this Oriental group. Our recipes today are two from Israel which are perfect examples of how this blend of different cultures results in • new and deli- cious-dishes. A favorite appetizer of traditional Eastern European cooking, Chicken Giblet Fricassee, is prepared in a new way. An American favorite, Banana Frit- ters, becomes Israeli Banana Fala- fal.
