I only have my grandmother's molds with the traditional geometric design, but I think I like these even more--particularly the ones on the bottom left and top right. Thank you for sharing the history behind Purim--I never knew it. the ma’moul look beautiful!

I got it as a present from Gruni Uminer from the Chabbad House at Chesnut Hill. It was a huge pleasure for me to decorate the room where the class took place !!! I am glad to see, by your dedication, that it brought you back good memories from your home town. I wish I had been able to be there!!! I made this Shabbat (Parsha Beshalach) all about Syrian food...and, although my husband is Persian and guests were from all over the world expet Syria, they all LOVED it!! I would like to ask you where can I find the same Tamarind paste you gave Gruni (she gave me the leftovers) I have used it up and cannot find anything like it kosher here...I tried to look up Sophia's foods in Deal, NY but was not able to find them. All the best and thank you so much!! rbps@hotmail.com Reyna Dear Poopa,

I got your extraordinary book a couple months ago and cannot tell you the joy it brought and brings me. Being half-Syrian myself (my father is Syrian from Aleppo, not Jewish though), it was amazing and exciting to find a book with all the food I was weaned on- and to learn more about the jewish community of Aleppo. I'm salivating just looking at the Atayef...it's tempting to make some tomorrow! Thank you again for the joy you brought us- btw, my father saw your book and he was very impressed! ;) Best regards to you and your family, Mariame Montreal, Canada Hello Poopa!

I saw your website Aromas of Aleppo, which is absolutely beautiful. Can you tell me which artist is playing on the music background on that webpage? The music is lovely and I would love to be able to find it and purchase it. Thank you. Melissa Mizrahi Powers Dear Ms. Dweck,
