With its assortment of mouthwatering ingredients and dishes, In Search of Israeli Cuisine is an unadulterated foodie delight. But much more than that, Roger Sherman’s documentary offers fascinating insights into a little-understood country, using the culinary prism to illuminate a complex, still-young culture.

My favorite scene was this: when asked if he wanted wine, he responded that he is allergic, he breaks out in handcuffs and police cars when he drinks.This documentary had beautiful video of making and eating food and wine; and Israel.
