About this episode
In this episode of the BaSSamat podcast, we delve into the origins in Australia of the classic dessert, knafeh, and how it travelled from the Palestinian city of Nablus to Melbourne. Mousa Khayat and his family introduced the authentic recipe to Australia to connect its people with the city so close to his heart. Through their restaurant, Knafeh Nabulsyeh, they hope to inspire memories of home and childhood through their traditional dishes. - في هذه الحلقة من بودكاست بصمات نلتقي السيد موسى الخياط وعائلته الذين أسسوا مطعم "كنافة نابلسية" في ملبورن لنقل الطعم الأصيل للكنافة من نابلس إلى أستراليا
