On this episode of Taste Buds with Deb, host Debra Eckerling speaks with Inbal Baum, founder of Delicious Israel food tours, Delicious Experiences (virtual corporate events) and Delicious Cities, a global network of immersive food tours.

After working as an attorney in Manhattan, and then becoming a yoga instructor, Baum moved to Israel where she founded her first “Delicious” company. For Baum, food and joy go hand in hand. And, even as she currently resides in the States, Baum continues to share her love of Israeli food.

“Israeli [food is] so many things,” she says. “You've got vegan, gluten-free, healthy and indulgent; you've got the full range.” Plus, Israeli food is served family-style. “It's togetherness around the table,” she says.

Baum shares how she created “Delicious” everything, food memories, and the power and joy of food. She also talks about why people love Israeli food so much and her recipe for Coconut Cream Malabi, a milk pudding that is Turkish in origin and Middle Eastern in flavor. You can find the recipe at JewishJournal.com/podcasts.
