Mixing Bowl: Super-Sol Goes Green; Renaming the Bagel; Foodie Events in Cali and NYC

Haaretz reports that Israeli supermarket chain Super-Sol will open a natural food store featuring “health foods, organic products, wine and cheeses and special gluten-free products.”

If you live in… Pasadena check out famous chefs like Paula Wolfert, who will be demonstrating hand-rolled couscous, and Faye Levy, who will give a lecture on Jewish North African food at Chef Farid Zadi’s Couscous Festival this Saturday.

And for the New Yorkers… visit the New York Food Museum’s annual Pickle Day Festival this Sunday on the Lower East Side. If you can’t make it, check out pickling expert Sandor Katz’s recipes.
