LEHAKIR

Let's start from the beginning. A little history: The Fett family owned bakeries and baked many generations in Poland. In the 1920s, upon her immigration to Israel, she established two bakeries in Haifa - in the Hadar neighborhood and in the Histadrut Sderot (which employed over 40 employees), which operated from 1922 - 1953. In those years, the family also established the Pat Confectionery in Jerusalem, which contained a large slick during the underground.

On Ilanot Street 1, right in front of a cheap Hamo supermarket, close to the seafront, is the Mediterranean Fish Shop, run by Mahmoud Abu Shenab. We entered there this week, with no prior knowledge, following a friend’s recommendation, which recognizes our affection for fish. We immediately noticed that the store was very clean, and had no odors characteristic of fish shops. Mahmoud's palms were covered in gloves. The strict adherence to hygiene was definitely noticeable.

In the life story of Thai beauty Swali Elder (55) is intertwined with many fairy tale elements: childhood in a small village, a Buddhist family engaged in agriculture, winning a beauty queen competition, traveling around the world, a beautiful prince, recreations with bohemian people and ambassadors and frequent encounters with the Thai princess. "If someone told me in my childhood how my life would turn out, I would have laughed and couldn't believe it," she smiles and modestly accepts her title - the high priestess of Thai cuisine in Israel.

Chef Marcello Sandman (48) lives in the Ahuza neighborhood of Haifa with his wife Orit and his two children Zoe (17) and Segib (14), and has spent more than thirty years in the restaurant and kitchen sector. Behind him are senior positions in the largest event halls in the country, and quite a mention of the City Tower in Tel Aviv, and the violins and d’Or in Haifa. He was also able to work as a young man in the well-remembered restaurant of La Schumier, and also to own or run a restaurant.

Danny Brand (70 +) lived most of his life in Kibbutz Gazit, and was engaged in agriculture and agricultural research. The business world was far from light years old, and the first time in his life that signed a check was at the age of 52.
