A documentary detailing Philly chef Michael Solomonov's journey through Israeli cuisine will make its local premiere next month at the
Philadelphia Jewish Film Festival. The film will be shown Monday, March 28 at 7:30 p.m. at the
Gershman Y cultural center. Solomonov will be on hand for a post-film conversation and reception, as well as a book signing for his best-selling
Zahav cookbook. From Philly.com:
Directed by Oscar-nominated documentarian Roger Sherman, In Search of Israeli Cuisine follows Solomonov on an adventure through Israel’s vibrant food culture. The result: An intimate, behind-the-scenes look into the culinary heritages that have helped inspire beloved Phildelphia restaurants like Dizengoff, Abe Fisher, and Zahav.
"It’s important for Americans to realize that regardless of what you see on TV, regardless of your political stance, Israeli cuisine reflects humanity at its best," Solomonov said of the doc via a release. "Sometimes the easiest way for people to relate to a country is through its food and culture."
Tickets: $15 film only; $30 film and reception; $60 for film and reception along with a copy of
Zahav.
