I had kanafe on a trip to Jordan several years ago and very thoroughly fell in love. But one mediocre version after another back in Toronto had me questioning myself: is kanafe really as good as I remember?
Jalebi is one of those desserts that’s pretty much exclusively for unapologetic sweet tooths. It’s about as close as you can get to eating pure syrup.
When you think about it, it’s odd that we consider pancakes to be breakfast when really, they’re obviously dessert. I mean, “cake” is right there in the name. They’re doused in syrup. They’re dessert.
