NEVE SHALOM & ODED SCHWARTZ

NEVE SHALOM:  Neve Shalom meaning Oasis of Peace, is also known as Wāħat as-Salām. This cooperative village was jointly founded by Israeli Mulsims and Jews in an attempt to show that these two nations can live side by side peacefully, as well as conduct educational work for peace, equality and understanding between the two. Neve Shalom is located on one of the two Latrun hilltops, midway between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. 
 

ODED SCHWARTZ:  Fish has been an integral part of Jewish cooking from the inception, enjoyed in a wide variety of forms -- poached, stewed, fried, grilled, smoked, pickled, and sweet-and-sour -- most of these relatively easy to prepare. However, the only Jewish dish to ever have appeared in the famous cookery bible La Rousse Gastronomique is Carp a lajuive – sweet and sour fish. Our resident chef Oded Schwartz shares with us what makes this fish dish so special.
