A word about the experience


Babka is one of the things I learned to make while in Israel. Now, my partner Elena and I operate an underground babka bakery in the heart of Pilsen and we'd love to share our secrets. Babka is a yeasted cake that is braided and filled with your favorite filling. Mine, for example, is bitter-sweet chocolate. But matcha and white chocolate are one of our specialties, and cinnamon churro is always good too. In this class, we will make three different filled babkas and three different shapes, while we nibble on some delicious snacks and Mexican hot chocolate.

Drinks & Beverages: Cocktail, Guests can bring alcohol

Educated as a Fashion Designer yet rooted in the kitchen, my heritage and my love for aesthetics are what guide me in the kitchen (with a special bond to everything dessert). Born in Mexico from Syrian, Polish, Lebanese, and Russian descent, I mix and match and make everything better with a little twist (or splash of Tahini). Aslan my husband, and I have a crazy love of meeting people, and feeding them, always having people over at our cool and airy Pilsen loft.

Wow!! Tamar's babka was out of this world, I'm still thinking about it 3 days later. Tamar and her husband were lovely hosts and their apartment is very unique and stylish. Everything Tamar served for brunch was incredible, but my favorite was the babka & latkes. Tamar was a very gracious and friendly host and I would definitely come back for another one of her experiences. Thanks, Tamar!!

Host Tamar & Aslan's Jewish-Mexican brunch was delicious! The fusion of Mexican and Jewish flavors worked well together and I left with a very satisfied stomach. Tamar and Aslan were great hosts and full of fun stories. I highly recommend trying one of their experiences
