One last Israel post sharing one of my favorite places in Jerusalem, the Shuk!
Wouldn’t this be an amazing place to do your weekly grocery shopping?!

Luv What You Do 
How amazing-and you ended with desert! I love open air markets! I really liked the sign that was in Hebrew but said Happy Hour on the bottom-how funny! You are very good with the camera-congrats on the entire trip-it looks as if you really enjoyed it.
I did! And I had a few desserts to bring home and share with the family!
Sometimes I feel like the US is lame and that other countries know whats up in the food market arena. While a grocery store is convenient I want cheap street groceries out of barrels!!!
So true! I never thought about it but I have seen amazing pictures of world markets on other blogs and could have spent days at this market alone. I love the buying in bulk fresh produce and spices and using that to put together a meal. It’s incredible!
Sign me up! I’d love to shop at open air marketes with fresh produce!!!
I know…right?! How does Chicago not have this???
Oh my gosh, that market looks amazing! Did you buy anything fun?
I did! I bought some incredible teas and spices to bring home, plus tahini for the BOY. I also brought home some snacks. While I was there I LOVED the fresh figs and dried fruit and nuts. I spent more money here than on souvenirs : )
Beautiful! I would love to live in a place with a great open air market like that. But I would probably buy a ton of food and just sit at home eating all day. That gorgeous fruit is making me hungry! 🙂
It made me want to host a dinner party for sure! Come up with an awesome and unique menu, shop, and serve friends. I bought some of the best dried fruit EVER and would be there everyday too!
[…] 4. Did I tell you that I found Biscoff in Israel? Not at the Shuk! […]
Thanks for sharing! Looks amazing. I am sure being a cook like you are, you were in heaven. It even made me want to cook…..a little bit anyways. 🙂
Ha ha! It is really motivating for sure. Plus the Mediterranean diet is sooo delish…I wanted to learn some new recipes!
[…] We still don’t have onion so I made a few adjustments to the original recipe from Cooking Light, including adding some of my mystery red spice from Israel. […]
So cool! The Pres/VP at the organization I work for were just in Israel, so I saw some similar pictures from them! I want to visit. 🙂
That’s awesome! You should definitely go! It was one of the most amazing places that I’ve been!
[…] of my best finds were tea and spices from Israel and chocolate (and of course wine) from […]
