Before moving on to the story itself, let's start with a kind of short but important nail polish.
Yes, this is a khomin that comes home delivered in an aluminum pot that includes everything you need, is easy to heat, has no complex logistics and most importantly, is delicious, very even.
Now let's also hear the story behind it.

"Mary's Chowder" was erected in memory of Miriam Maman, a woman who swam around the kitchen and was actually the "feeder", the one whose door was always open and besides feeding her children and grandchildren, neighbors and passersby were also called to the kitchen to get a plate.
Her khomin, which she used to make on a platter covered with thick woolen blankets, became a thing of the past.
Before she died, when she was still clear, Mary drew her daughter's attention to the attic, where the huge pots of khomin resided, and asked for one thing before she died — to make sure that at her seven everyone would be seventy.
"Not to be missed" so-called.
The "business" was established by the granddaughter, Karin Kapf, 44, and the mother of a child almost ten years old in co-parenting.
Kafach is an entrepreneur in the field of food, in the past she owned two successful bars in Tel Aviv, set up kitchens and a banquet hall, managed chains and more.

A year ago she left a senior position at Strauss where she has worked for the past nine years to focus on developing a business plan for a venture that will be all about the purity of her grandmother’s food and personality.
"It was important to me that everyone knew who my grandmother was, what she was and what she still is for me. I want to continue her path, which was full of giving and thus be able to reach and help the weak. I meet associations, come to shelters, shelters and more."
Social vision
Unfortunately, Miriam passed away during the Corona period and her last request could not be fulfilled due to the restrictions, both at Shiva and at the funeral, but a few months later, as mentioned, the business opened: .
"My first goal," she says, "is for everyone to know Mary and who she was, everywhere in the country, through the pots. The second part of the vision is the social aspect. The business is a social business for everything and includes quite a bit of help for the needy. Every week we donate For the needy, food, from the elderly to difficult families or mourners, at the same time also contribute quite a bit to MDA and the medical staff, associations and shelters. "
