Welcome to the A-Sham Arabic Food Festival where food transcends boundaries. Founded by Dr. Nof Atamna-Ismaeel, the first Muslim Arab to win Israel's MasterChef, the festival invites Arab and Jewish chefs to collaborate in the kitchen. Connected by a shared culinary history, these chefs exchange stories, recipes and techniques–minus the politics and religion. A celebration of the region's diverse cuisines and people, Breaking Bread offers a mouthwatering taste of rich culinary traditions that will leave you wanting more.
