‘It’s bloomin’ delicious’: Jamie Oliver tucks into Israeli breakfast
Jamie’s Meat-Free Meals, which first aired in the UK on Channel 4, arrived on Israel’s Food Channel on Sunday

Israeli fans of Jamie Oliver have been kvelling at seeing the celebrity chef visiting their own backyard for his new series, in episodes which aired in the country this week.
Jamie’s Meat-Free Meals arrived on Israel’s Food Channel on Sunday.
In episode 6, Oliver is seen chomping into Panda Pitta’s famous steamed pitta bun sabich while stopping in Tel Aviv and in the latest episode to air, he visits the Kalo café in the Baka neighbourhood of Jerusalem.
Arriving for breakfast, Oliver exclaims: “On the table is more colour than I’ve seen on breakfast tables ever, in all my travels.”
He then marvels at the array of colourful, freshly-prepared dishes, which include a chopped herb salad with pomegranates and granola.
“I never thought of it, its bloomin’ delicious,” he declares, before adding, “It’s like a picnic – this does blow most breakfasts around the world out the water.”
Oliver was spotted in January out and about on the streets of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv filming for his new series, which first aired in the UK in October and is still available to watch on All4.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
