 Me, I'm an Epsicopalian, with a Jewish girlfriend, who's testing recipes for a book on breads of the Diaspora

| I am greek born in Israel with a Israeli-greek-jewish mother.Basically I am Greek for the good or for the worse  Kyle!!! Strange. We make churek for the Ortodox Easter!!! And it needs a great art... some people use this dough to make vassilopita, (the pie with the coin) for the New Year. I consider churek very difficult. Do you make those? Another one. Do you include any kind of ritual breads in this category?

| I did not find this particular churek too difficult. Maybe it's different than the ones you make. It's pretty much a staight forward challah. From the recipes I've seen, vassilopita is indeed very similar. What is mahlepi? As to ritual breads, I think Haman's Eyes are as close as I've come. I am learning as I get the recipes

 The churek is beautiful and the view of the street below is tantalizing! I hope to walk those streets again this summer....

| Tantalizing...just the word that came to my mind! I'm Jewish, American, and of Syrian descent. As I was growing up, my parents and grandparents made it a point to familiarize us with Syrian foods. Unfortunately, ethnic breads didn't play a big role at our dinner table. We usually ate challah on holidays and Shabbat. Kyle, I love it!! These breads are remarkable!

| Ain't the new kitchen a hoot! With windows and everything. Learning about the relationship of bread to culture ain't all bad either
