Andrea's Spiral Kolokithopites - Cypriot Pumpkin Pies
Andrea’s family regularly gathers to cook and eat together, whether it’s for a special family celebration or just to enjoy each other’s company for the day. What a joy it was to spend the day with three generations of the family as they prepared a variation of Kolokithopites. Kolokotes, or Kolokopites are Cypriot pumpkin pies traditionally made with a thick style pastry in a semi-circle shape. Today, Andrea’s family are making them with our family’s Fillo Pastry in a spiral shape, using fresh pumpkin from Pappou Savva’s garden. Watch along to see how they make them.
Znoud El Sit
Khalil from Sydney’s Ibrahim Pastry is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to cooking with our family’s pastry. He is renowned for the incredible delicacies he creates for his cake shop, and we love his amazing energy in the kitchen when he is cooking. We asked Khalil to show us how he makes one of our favourite traditional Lebanese sweets, Znoud El Sit, which translates to ‘the upper arms of a lady”. These crispy Fillo Pastry rolls are filled with an ashta (clotted cream) filling and drenched in a sweet sugar syrup. Watch along as Khalil shares his tips for making this delicious dessert.
