Spread · Plates
Two-column weeknight spread
We keep the studio small so the craft stays readable—one idea per visit, finished edges, and notes you can reuse next week. Herb salads, roasted fish, warm flatbread.
Salt early, taste late, plate while steam still rises. Leftovers become tomorrow's lunch without apology.

In the pantry notes we leave space for a quiet shekel buffer for the month—low-pressure side income used by many in Israel, never shouted from the stove.
