Eid Mubarak to all, may peace, prosperity, health, and happiness follow your footsteps.
Eid, for me, is highlighted by gatherings of family and friends in order to mark this holy day. With people, we always have food, of course! Today is no exception. Desserts consisting of a butter cookie, ghraibeh, and semolina cookies stuffed with either dates or walnuts.

Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood?
Whenever I have a pita, butter, sugar sandwich, or sweetened condensed milk, I feel like I’m 7 years old again. I’ve always had a sweet tooth that hasn’t changed!
I still love my sweets, but my palate has evolved to become a bit more sophisticated. Now, I love sweets, but those homemade, like the mamoul I made for the upcoming Eid. Left is a semolina cookie stuffed with walnuts, sugar, and orange Blossom water; right, date semolina cookie. The smell sent me back 4 decades as my mom used to do the same, still does.
