What you'll do
Join Chef Farah in Brooklyn for a heartwarming journey into the art of making Knafeh, inspired by her childhood visits to the legendary Habiba shop in Amman, Jordan. Each bite of this iconic dessert carries the rich flavors and cherished traditions of Nablus, where Knafeh is more than just a treat—it’s a symbol of Palestinian heritage, passed down through generations.In this hands-on cooking class, you’ll dive into the authentic techniques and ingredients that make Nabulsi Knafeh so special. From hand-shredding kataifi dough and blending it with ghee and butter to layering creamy akawi and mozzarella cheeses, you’ll learn every step to achieving the perfect crispy, gooey, and aromatic dessert. As the Knafeh cooks to golden perfection, you’ll infuse it with fragrant orange blossom syrup and top it with crushed pistachios for the ultimate finishing touch.More than just an NYC cooking class, this experience is also a way to give back. Proceeds will be donated to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF) to support their life-saving humanitarian efforts. Come for the sweet flavors, stay for the rich cultural connection, and leave with the skills to recreate this beloved dessert at home!

- 5/5 from Victoria Antonini, attended Aug 2026: Great (and delicious) experience! Warm and welcoming. Easeful and fun experience.
- 5/5 from Pei Wang, attended May 2026: Such a fun, chill way to learn more about the host and her mission and Palestinian/Arabic culture through delicious food and with other friendly like-minded folks. The Knafeh was so delicious too - perfect balance of sweet and savory, crispy and chewy!
- 5/5 from Allyx Teel, attended May 2026: Great experience! Tasted better than any knafeh I’ve had in NY. Would be fun to also see the cheese being boiled and sugar water being made!
- 5/5 from Brianna Harlan, attended Sep 2025: The teacher was incredible: warm, inviting, educational, and personable. She led the workshop with so much grace and fun. I felt secure in approaching each step and, more importantly, I felt like I learned about Palestinian history and traditions as a guest to the culture and making knafeh! We did everything from reasonable amounts of prep to cooking so the time was well used. I have enjoyed knafeh for about 10 years because I have Palestinian family. I sent them the photos of my dish and they were very proud of me! My cheese pull was amazing AND it was delicious! wow. I feel sure that I can make them some when they are homesick. This is priceless. Thank you!

- 5/5 from Josh Aromin, attended Aug 2025: I had never eaten knafeh, let alone make it, before this class. This was a very enjoyable evening in a laid back social setting with great instruction by Chef Farah and her assistant. A great setting to go to with your friends, or to go solo and make new ones, while picking up a new skill.
- 5/5 from Lana Savoca, attended Aug 2025: Amazing! Sahtein! We had the most wonderful time uncovering the history of kanafa and connecting with the Palestinian roots and heritage behind this rich, delicious dessert. Farah and her team were absolutely outstanding—we can’t recommend them enough for families and friends alike. An unforgettable experience, and truly the best kanafa you’ll find outside of Nablus! Lana

Learning about the Palestinian tradition of Knafeh making was fascinating. Both teachers were so knowledgeable and made the class interesting and fun.
