Arab Desserts: Knefeh and Baklava *In-Person* *NEW*

In this class, we'll make classic Middle Eastern baklava and Levantine knefeh, sweet treats fit for special occasions. Students will work with philo and katayif dough and learn how to avoid common mistakes while making these intimidating big desserts. We'll practice adding different fillings and making various shapes of baklava, which students will get to take home. We will eat warm, cheesy knefeh together in class, discuss Arab and Middle Eastern culture, and where to buy the best ingredients to make these festive desserts on your own. Instructor: Lala Thaddeus
