✨ Knafeh Workshop with Chef Farah of Sitti’s House ✨
We’re so excited to welcome Chef Farah of Sitti’s House—all the way from Brooklyn—for a hands-on afternoon of sweetness, story & tradition special summertime Knafeh workshop at Naseeb Studio (our Bok Showroom!).
What is Knafeh?
Knafeh (or knafe, kanafa, kunāfa... however you spell it!) is a cherished Palestinian dessert made with crisp, buttery strands of kataifi dough, soft melty cheese, and fragrant orange blossom syrup, finished with crushed pistachios. It’s more than just a treat—it’s a taste of memory, connection, and cultural inheritance.
In this hands-on class, you’ll:
– Learn how to work with kataifi dough and blend it with butter & ghee
– Prepare and layer the cheeses for the ultimate gooey center
– Make a simple, fragrant orange blossom syrup
– Assemble, flip, and finish your very own Knafeh
– Share stories, ask questions, and take home the skills to recreate this dish in your own kitchen
Chef Farah will guide us through the process while sharing her own personal ties to Knafeh—from childhood visits to the legendary Habiba sweets shop in Amman to her family roots in Nablus, where this dessert originates.
🎟 Your Ticket Includes:
– A full hands-on Knafeh-making experience
– Homemade Knafeh to eat (and savor!)
– A sweet Saturday spent in community
