Recipes for Cozy Winter Days
Winter in Israel is a relatively short season, but it still provides a few days of heavy rain, wind, and above all, a desire for cozy evenings at home with steaming pots to beckon everyone to the table. This is the time to linger in the kitchen over long simmering broths and stews and savor hearty local fare.
