This is Ezi’s mother, who posed for an ad about using canned goods in the time of rationing.  It made the papers this weekend again in a celebration of Lilian Kornfeld’s cookbook of Israeli Cookery, that was published over sixty years ago and is still available on Amazon.  

Ezi’s mother didn’t use canned goods, though.  She was Israeli born and Ezi grew up on soups from native herbs and vegetables, breaded fish and rice desserts.

I know the anniversary of an old cook book isn’t news, but she was a great person.
