Karabij Halab
October 6th, 2009
Karabij Halab means Karabij Aleppo because karabij originated in Aleppo. It is a type of ma’moul filled with pistachios or walnuts, and served with Natef (the white cream in the picture. The main ingredient in making Natef is Shersh Al-Halaweh “Bois de Panama”). You can buy karabij or prepare it at home, but it is very difficult to make natef at home. We made karabij at home and bought the natef.

Eid Al-Fitr – 2009
September 21st, 2009
Eid Al-Fitr “Smaller Eid”, is a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. Eid is an Arabic word meaning “festivity”, while Fiṭr means “to break fast”; and so the holiday symbolizes the breaking of the fasting period. It is celebrated after the end of the Islamic month of Ramadan, on the first day of Shawwal. Source: Wikipedia
