Inspiration
Inspiration for our products started years ago while traveling and working overseas. Date cakes similar to (Maamoul) were served with coffee on Saudia Airlines. These small round cakes in a pastry shell were filled with fresh “date fruit” grown on desert oases throughout the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Date cakes were made by Marriott Catering Corporation under contract for Saudia Airlines to serve to their guests as a sign of traditional hospitality. The pastry was naturally delicious and difficult to forget. Our idea was create a comparable product, manufacture it from fresh California dates, and present to the American Community for your enjoyment.

I can completely relate to you. MY grandmother's family is from New Mexico and I can still remember the first time I had these delicious little treats. I didn't know what they were and I didn't want to try them but I did anyway and I have been in love with them since them. We never have to worry about them going cold or to waste.

I have been eating these cookies for years and have always wondered where did they come from. Today I bought a pack fo the figs and the thought came to my mine to go on the internet and find out. Now the mystery is over. I thought the Koreans made and controlled them. They are the only ones that I know who sell them. Thanks for the research

I read your blog entry on these, but I'm still sort of wondering...where is the recipe from? It seems like something they would make in Greece or somewhere in the Middle East. Did you ever figure that out?

I was reading Bill Buford's book Heat this weekend and he writes about learning to make pasta in a small mountain town in Italy. He feels a loss because He no longer has contact with the women and her aunts that taught him. He writes, " It is, I concluded, a side effect of this kind of food, one that's handed down from one generation to another, often in conditions of adversity, that you end up thinking of the dead, that the very stuff that sustains you tastes somehow of mortality." This passage touched me and I immediately thought of it as I read your piece. Always enjoy reading your stuff!
