Re: Kosher/ Traditional Jewish recipes- a q for Marilyn too.

[Guest guest]

Thanks so much!

I wasn't even aware of a kosher cookbook-

I wonder if this is the same cookbook they use in Israel?

They copy of BTVC in Hebrew changed things in order to address Kashrut.

Many of the recipes in BTVC-Hebrew are different due to this!

It also nixed ingredients that are difficult to get in Israel.

I still don't understand how SCD'ers in Israel are comfortable buying dates

(lots of this stuff is in bulk in vats and it looked to me dates had syrup on

them) and they make allowances for dairy products that original BTVC does not

allow.

Boy do I love Israeli Cottage cheese.

Hey Marilyn, do you have thoughts on this?

Mimi suggested that maybe I send the cottage cheese to a food lab.

I have no idea how I would do such a thing and how much it would cost.

In order for me to get aged cheeses in Israel comfortably I would have to buy it

in an unkosher supermarket which would not be permissible in my family's home.

I have the cookbook - Esther from DW wrote it. I don't know if this is the same

one in Israel. When I was there, so much of the Israeli diet is around fresh

fruits and vegetables- I could see where SCD would go well with this.

I have no idea about the cottage cheese or aged cheeses there, but hopefully the

group there can look into it.

I was there before SCD- and the food was great.

Ohh, I didn't realize she wrote it!

She doesn't have a copy in Hebrew does she?

IME, some aspects are much easier implementing the diet in Israel on other

levels it is a lot more difficult.

The way SCD is structured there is very different than here.

They also have a local kitchen in Bnie-Brak where one can buy legal food like

yogurt. We can't buy yogurt machines in Israel and often time due to kashrut it

makes maing yogurt in the oven difficult.

> I have no idea about the cottage cheese or aged cheeses there, but hopefully

Do you read Hebrew?

You can check out their site;

http://scdiet.co.il/

It's pretty cool.

They have a small forum, " Mutar Asur " list (legal/illegal) and some other things

including a Halacha link!

> I was there before SCD- and the food was great.

Yeah! Especially the past couple of years as there was this bleak period late

90's early 00's that they were exporting a lot of good stuff and importing cheap

stuff.

Past couple of years I have been there produce level quality has really gone

up.. It's a pleasure.

huh? Why not? You could just buy a European one.

In Bnei Brak is the SCD kitchen which is a separate location from the health

food store in Bnei Brak that sells SCD items.

Jerusalem is just a store that sells SCD items.

I asked the exact same question.

They need to special order it. It's pretty whack.

Unfortunately my Hebrew is limited to prayerbook Hebrew.

I see where future visits I would be bringing a yogurt maker. I guess people are

using other devices- perhaps dehydrators.

Cool.

They end up ordering it from out of Israel.

It's the weirdest thing they don't import a yogurt maker.

I would love to buy one to bring with me!
