"Just have to write to tell you HOW MUCH I enjoyed the day with you and Ben and your children. From start to finish, it was the most memorable day ever. I am in love with your Cook Book, and have now read it cover to cover. I shared it with a neighbor last night who oo'd and ahh'd with every page. Reading your book was like being in your beautiful company and beautiful home all over again. So glad to have had my very own Private cooking class with you (and Randi, of course). Very special, Shalom, and Hag Sameach."

"Hayley and I had a fantastic time in Israel. The day spent with you and your family was one of the highlights of our stay. The time spent in the Market was so worth it, you showed us and taught us about so many different cultures and we have been enriched by this experience. As for the simplicity of your dishes we just loved having hands on experience in the preparation thereof and we will certainly be making good use of your beautiful book and its many interesting recipes."
