"44" Restaurant-Tel Aviv's Best Kept Secret

By: Danya Weiner Mine and Deanna’s birthdays are two weeks apart, and each year to celebrate, instead of buying gifts for one another, we go out to a nice restaurant. Come mid-October, just before our birthdays, we try to carefully decide which restaurant we want to treat ourselves to. We usually try to go with something culinary adventurous, that we can’t go to with our husbands, who are both culinarily challenged. This year we couldn’t decide where to go, and we almost decided to postpone the celebration due to the lack of plan. On the night we had planned to go out, I was strolling down the trendy “Nachalat Benyamin” street, when I recalled that I had done a photo shoot at a cool new restaurant called 44. I called to make the reservation and the hostess explained that they were having a special evening that night-a Vietnamese grill night-on the outside patio of the restaurant. Total karma. The night was amazing on all fronts. The food was divine, the music (live dj) was spot...

Peanut Sesame Soba Noodles

By: Deanna Linder It is known that human beings are creatures of habit. Psychology often explains this phenomenon as having to do with the brain finding comfort in the known, leaving room to discover new/different experiences.  If that is the case than, for 12 years straight, my brain was free for lunch.

Apparently it was National (US) Peanut Butter Day.  Getting nostalgic for my upcoming visit to the US, I thought it would be fitting to make a grown-up peanut butter dish and this one popped right into mind.

Vietnamese chicken and glass noodle salad

In the super trendy and popular Mitte district in Berlin there is a charming Vietnamese restaurant called "Monsieur Vuong". The menu is quite modest- with around six courses- but the small selection comes with compensation- each of the dishes on the menu are exceptionally tasty , the portions are generous, the service is exceedingly prompt and the prices are ridiculous (in a good way, especially for Berlin or Europe for that matter). My favorite dish of theirs is the glass noodle salad- a spicy dish with an abundance of flavors, textures and colors- that is also filling! The glass noodles and fish sauce can be found in Asian specialty markets, but may also be found in your regular supermarket in the Asian products section. Here is my version of this salad: Ingredients for 6-8 servings: For the salad: 1 bag (200 grams, 7 oz.) glass noodle, soaked in hot water for about 10 minutes. Use a very large bowl for this because the noodles come in a bunch and are nearly impossible to separate....
