Welcome to
Cafe Eilat
This blog is called Cafe Eilat because I fell in love with coffee in this city in Israel. But I deal here with cooking in general. I talk about recipes, cooking techniques, equipment, etc. All of this is done through articles written with a gourmet touch.
About me
Hi, I am Betty.
I live in a small village south of Birmingham. I love cooking recipes from all over the world for my husband and son. I have a preference for Mediterranean recipes, but they prefer local recipes.
I hope you enjoy my recipes and the tips I give. If you have any questions, you can ask me by e-mail.
