“Lemon Peel”
For many years, women carried the DNA of their families in their cooking pots. Home kitchens were bubbling explorations of family roots, rich with taste and aroma—a source of family strength that women guarded closely.
With the building of the country and women entering the workforce, the old order began to shift. Recipes became a form of currency, passed from hand to hand as women made their way into the working world.
What did we gain, what was lost, and how does it all connect to a lemon peel in the family kitchen where Hila Alpert grew up?
A story of love and food that traces the role of women cooks in Israeli society.
