How to make Ruthie Brodo? A whole month passed until I cracked the exact recipe that made Ruthie Brodo the national mummy, and now it's time to reveal it. Since this is a secret, it makes me feel like Elaine Benis when she reveals the recipes of the "Nazi end", so pay attention: the ingredients are available to everyone, the raw materials are quite simple, and the cooking process is not pretentious at all. You too can make Ruthie Brodo yourself, just be careful not to pour too much salt.

"MKR The Winning Kitchen" is still in the early stages of the season, but public sympathy for the reality judge has crossed boundaries and sectors. TV loves powerful characters that provide inspiration to viewers, and Brodo is one such.

She represents the figure of the new modern woman. Yes, what to do that can not be ignored services Brodo Woman, and therefore its presence is exceptional within a program genre completely controlled by male chefs. Haim Cohen, Eyal Shani, Assaf Granit, Moshik Roth, Israel Aharoni, Yonatan Roshfeld and others were crowned by television as chefs who excel in their field, and then used it to further inflate their status in the culinary world. Women in cooks usually popped up in the confectionery and sweet districts, because perhaps the sugar allows Israelis to swallow Karin Goren on screen.

This is the prevailing view here. While chefs with bellies, baldness and tattoos were drawn to the glamorous world provided by the cooking programs, the threshold conditions from the other women. They are required to bring different features to the screen. Say, provide feminine warmth on the set, produce intimacy, flirt, smile a lot, bring glam spiced with sophistication and international knowledge, and of course look great in the middle of the beat. In short, be Michal Ansky.

Brodo told Rafi Reshef last month that she was reluctant to disclose for fear of being screened. "I look not refined enough, a bit lesbian," she defined herself. And she is truly the complete opposite of the beautiful Mansky with long legs and famous parents, reminiscent of a mannequin of feminism from an old-fashioned model. Brodo, on the other hand, gives real hope to real women in the patriarchal culinary world reflected off the screen.

Short hair pulled back, large and thick glasses, black clothes. No revealing dresses, but with a facelift. Brodo radiates acceptance about appearance, highlights insecurity, but at the same time gallops forward. Light and much more sensitive than in the first season. Is this the effect of the victory on the cancer, which was diagnosed in her during the filming of last season? Viewers wonder.

But Brodo broke a TV glass ceiling not just because of the exterior. The high tongue passes as simple and popular, is David Dvir of the food judges. Brodo does not give up on her truth, and since you see that she does not know how to play in front of cameras, we believe every word that comes out of her mouth. Because in a world where everyone is trying too hard, this authenticity plays a role.

"I am Ruthie from Netanya," she reminds us that she is just one of the neighborhoods that broke out and succeeded. Add to that the connection with Haim Cohen, another from Mami Leumi, which gives her an equal and rare partnership on screen. He respects her, admires and picks her up, and the viewers internalize.

And there is something more significant. In Israel, people like to emphasize their maternal qualities in authoritative female characters. They worry, hug, feed, get excited and so on. Think of all the judges of the various singing competitions, from Mesika Mesira to Sarit Hadad. But Brodo has no children, and she emphasizes this over and over again. This makes her a woman of a different breed, and the first in Israeli prime-time.
