any specific books? http://www.amazon.com/Mourad-New-Moroccan-Lahlou/dp/1579654290/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1337121037&sr=8-2 looks amazing but possibly a bit challenging ingredientwise. Although 'authentic' is a westion construct used to other the exotic east. I learned that in undergrad.

also, any opinions about ancient grains for modern meals? More delicious or more nutritious?

Israel, not in tel aviv. I eat local cuisine a lot, and kind of want to branch out. Cucumber and tomato salad gets old after a few hundred days. I thought of greece and spain because i assumed the ingredients are similar.

Hi, I am living outside of the US somewhere that the more exotic ingredients are rare or very expensive. I'm not limited to total basics, but I have had a hard time finding things ranging from Sorrel, shitake mushrooms to non string cheese mozzerella, and have a very hard time finding affordable meat or non farmed fish.
I have found myself repeating meals a lot here, and I have with me a few all purpose books (Joy of cooking! Nyt cookbook!) they are sometimes not totally inspiring. I want to buy myself a cookbook - restaurant or cuisine based whose ingredient lists that wont leave me sighing. I already have indian cookbooks and it is not really possible to find the ingredients for east/south east asian cooking here. I was thinking greek? Spanish? Or a great restaurant cookbook that doesn't have a lot of red meat/ unusual ingredients? Thanks
9 Nights in Tel Aviv
Shuk banamal is much much better than kitchen market, and they are in the same building on the namal.
Search for the BEST hummus and falafel in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, please.
Are the hummous places (specifically ha'suri) open for dinner? If not, what is a good and inexpensive place to eat dinner near shuk ha carmel/ neve tzedek?
Friday foodie tour in Berkeley
I think Sea Salt is pretty Meh ambiance-wise, and the food is not special enough to make it a good pick over everywhere else on this list. If you are willing to try somewhere a bit more pricy, but comparable to 2/3 courses at Chez Pannisse upstairs, Commis in Oakland is great. If you go to Pizzaola, order a gin and tonic - they make their own tonic and it is wildly delicious.

Feedback on itinerary
Slanted door is a great choice. Really delicious, and something different if you have only tried cheaper, less fusiony Vietnamese food. I strongly suggest the Shaking Beef.
