En: The Shuk HaCarmel in Tel Aviv was bustling with life. He: ריחות של תבלינים ושל דוכנים עמוסים בירקות ופירות מילאו את האוויר. En: The scents of spices and stalls overflowing with vegetables and fruits filled the air. He: תמר עמדה לפני דוכן התבלינים, עיניה סורקות את מגוון הצבעים והטעמים. En: Tamar stood before the spice stall, her eyes scanning the variety of colors and flavors. He: היא חיפשה תערובת תבלינים שתהיה מושלמת למנה החדשה שהיא רוצה להכין לתחרות בישול.
