A Galileat cooking workshop that allows you to learn about the cultures of the Galilee region through cooking with your hosts, in their kitchen. It is fun, informative and very tasty. There is no better way to experience a slice of village life in the Galilee, whilst learning to cook great new dishes. You will arrive home having met a real family in the Galilee, learned a little of their culture and food and seen a side of Israel that you would otherwise not have been able to see.

Highlight of our trip

We absolutely loved our Druze cooking experience with Galileat. Paul was a wonderful guide, so helpful and easy to talk to. Our hosts, Wajid and Amira, welcomed us into their home and immediately made us feel comfortable. We cooked an incredible vegetarian meal together, but what made the experience truly special was learning about Druze culture and having the chance to ask questions and talk openly. The food was delicious, the hospitality was amazing, and the whole experience felt warm, persona...read more

Highlight of our vacation in Israel

Our reaction to the cooking workshop with a Druze couple echoes that of other reviewers. We were graciously and warmly welcomed and began with a discussion of Druze culture and religion. Next we donned aprons and set about preparing a multi-course dinner. We were two couples and needed to avoid various ingredients (including sesame and garlic) due to food intolerances. Our hosts did a fabulous job accommodating our requirements—better and more cheerfully than most restaurants. We’re looking ...read more

A truly special and memorable experience—and my favorite meal in Israel!

I cannot recommend GalilEat strongly enough! Our guide, the excellent Baruch of Touring With Baruch, suggested that we do an Arabic cooking class while on our trip. To be honest, I’m not sure I would have gone for this if not for the fact that my mom, who was on this trip to Israel, did something similar when she visited India and said it was a fabulous experience. I really value eating well when I travel, and I love visiting restaurants. So to do this home cooking class meant not going to a res...read more

Learning about cooking, culture and history from a Druze family

A spectacular experience. My wife and I spent an evening with a Druze couple, learning about both culture and cuisine in their house. The only thing more amazing than the delicious food was the experience of connecting with them, with Paul as our guide. It was one of the most memorable parts of our trip to the Middle East.
