An extraordinary culinary journey is planned with the second annual Israeli Chef’s Table Experience – part of the community’s Yom Ha’Atzmaut (Israel Independence Day) celebration, presented by United Jewish Federation of Tidewater.
Chef Moshe Basson, founder of Jerusalem’s acclaimed Eucalyptus restaurant, is recognized worldwide for his innovative approach to authentic Israeli cuisine. Guests will be treated to a carefully curated, three-course kosher meat dinner paired with exquisite Israeli wines. Drawing inspiration from centuries-old regional flavors and biblical ingredients, Chef Basson masterfully blends history, culture, and gastronomy into every dish.
As an Israeli food historian, Basson’s expertise in agricultural traditions and ancient texts allows him to craft meals that tell a story—one that spans generations and cultures.
Attendees will experience recipes from his latest cookbook, The Eucalyptus Cookbook, bringing the rich culinary heritage of Israel to life, and to hear him speak about his journey.
This one-of-a-kind dining experience is a must for food enthusiasts and/or lovers of Israeli culture. With limited seating available, make reservations soon for a night of exquisite flavors, rich history, and culinary storytelling.
