Took a long time, and a lot of effort. My hands ached at the end, but it was worth it!<br /><br />It tasted very similar to what we had had in a restaurant that inspired me to search for a recipe on-line.<br /><br />Thank you very much for sharing this; it can be done with sheets that you shred yourself, but it's so much work I don't recommend it unless you're up for an hour of chopping! But it is technically doable.<br /><br />Next time, I'm saving some time and looking on-line for some shredded phyllo!<br /><br />Thanks!Natenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375385488715271840.post-19980395506069673252015-12-01T15:05:19.408-06:002015-12-01T15:05:19.408-06:00Britt, so sorry for the late response.

I think you'd be more in love if you tried the kunefe from Hatay/Antakya a city that is known for the best kunefe in Turkey. Have you tried online to find kadayif? It can be found in Turkish, Greek and Arap stores. Shredding the phyllo dough finely will probably not give you the same taste and I am afraid it would take so much an effort. Try tulumba.com if you cannot find it anywhere. Good luck!Mediterranean Turkish Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11119693459213190159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375385488715271840.post-34155610315091771552015-10-13T07:00:18.301-05:002015-10-13T07:00:18.301-05:00After a recent visit to Istanbul, I tried Künefe a...After a recent visit to Istanbul, I tried Künefe and fell in love. I'm desperate to at least try to recreate the magic, however I cannot find kataifi anywhere! If i cut phyllo pastry as finely as possible, would this work? or is it not worth trying because it would be so far from the original?

I do remember you talking about Sveyka restaurant in Antakya. I don't believe I've ever been there, but the next time I visit home, I have to go there and taste their kunefe. Also, it's interesting that a liver restaurant in Istanbul serves kunefe, but the fact that the usta is from Antakya explains why!

For sure, don't miss there the Sveyka restaurant (http://www.sveyka.com/); for me the best künefe in downtown is made there (well baked, ample creamy cheese inside,plus much walnut powder on top!!!)...Yes there you can imagine how a künefe must taste when homemade!!!<br />My 2nd experience about this sweet sin: This Easter, when I was in Instanbul, another well prepared künefe was offered to me in Canım Ciğerim (http://www.asmalicanimcigerim.com/)...and the young usta preparing it told me that he was coming from Antakya...most people in this resto go there for the liver experience, but you: don't leave without asking the waiters about THEIR künefe version...a huge portion ideally baked just like the one in Nihal's fotos!<br />Well remember me, when in Antakya or Istanbul!This is not an ad...George-Athens/Greecenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375385488715271840.post-70614278709012877562010-08-10T06:28:39.461-05:002010-08-10T06:28:39.461-05:00Just D I V I N E, Nihal!!!!
