00:33The inspiration behind the desserts is to take all the flavors and ingredients of the region
00:39and mixing it with my background, which is American and Italian American.
01:11The bomba is a take on my after-school snack, which was peanut butter and banana sandwiches.
01:17And bomba is one of the most quintessential snacks of Israeli children.
01:21And I put them together into one thing.
01:50The knafe is a traditional Arabic dessert.
01:53And in the middle, I've put mascarpone, fig, and ricotta cheese, which is more of a reflection
02:00of my Italian American heritage.
02:10I hope that the guests recognize the flavors of the Middle East in the desserts while also
02:15feeling nostalgia.
02:18We'll see you soon.
02:18Bye-bye.
