The Dough Ritual

Pastizzi dough stretched until the newspaper headlines show through. Every sheet by hand.

The good kind. Three platters up, two more behind. The kitchen in the van never stops.

Every guest asked us who the caterer was. We had 200 people at our wedding and not one plate came back with food on it. The fenek was extraordinary.
