Nostalgia and Nutmeg


Yesterday was my beloved Nana's birthday. She would have been 85. She loved Christmas, and every year she turned her house inside out to create a winter wonderland. She threw a huge Christmas Eve party for which she spent the entire week before the fete baking and cooking and preparing to show her friends and family how much she loved them. She was the most loving and influential person to ever grace my life.

In honor of her birthday and her love of Christmas, we made her signature Lebanese anise flavored dessert pastry called ka'ak. It smells and tastes like love.
