Refuge Sweetrefuge: Confection Baklava and Phyllo Dough

refuge sweetrefuge: The nuts themselves were pulverized and powdery, ruining the texture of the confection, according to Hamilton Spectator. Baklava has delicate feelings, said Homsi, 76. The pastries were too sweet for his taste and there was often a filler, like semolina, mixed in with the nuts. He stood in his small kitchen in Brooklyn, waving the creases out of sheer, supple phyllo dough. They have sold their Syrian sweets, including baklava, at outdoor markets in New York, and have just started a website, Syrian Sweet Refuge sweetrefuge for online sales. Before he and his wife, Nawal Wardeh, fled Syria last year, the couple owned a bakery in the city of Hama for more than 30 years. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
