Food and Friendship
Wow! What a fantastic experience this was. We were welcomed into the home and truly felt like family. Our hosts were so gracious. We learned so much about basic things like how to core a zucchini without destroying it. All of the dishes we prepared were done in a kosher kitchen. The end result was a huge feast of food that was absolutely decadent! What a wonderful way to learn about another culture through cooking and new friendships! I highly recommend this tour.

It was a wonderfu...read more

The Druze Cooking with Galileat was phenomenal! It was very special meeting the Druze family and cooking and eating with them. They were extremely hospitable and our guide Paul was exceptional! An outstanding experience!

Cooking and Much More with a Druze Family
Wendy, Lorie and I spent two weeks touring Israel in Oct 2022. A very special highlight of our trip was a visit (arranged by Galileat) to a Druze family for a hands-on cooking class. Our hosts had us all very busy in their kitchen preparing a multi-course meal from fresh, local ingredients. Then, the payoff: eating what we'd help prepare with our hosts. It was delicious. But our visit to their home was much more than the cuisine. Before our fun in the kitchen, we spent an hour in convers...read more
