Our Personal Story

Cooking Workshops & Culinary Hosts

Jat-Yanuh
Cooking Workshops & Culinary Hosts
Nohad Bisan is a cook and confectioner who hosts groups, couples, and families from all over the country in the courtyard of her home in the picturesque Druze settlement of Yanuh-Jat for unique baking workshops as well as for tasting desserts of spectacular beauty and handmade delicacies, in front of a Galilean landscape.
The hospitality at Sweet Moments includes getting to know Nohad, the story of her life and the story of the Druze community, and a tasting of traditional desserts such as knafe, Turkish baklava filled with cheese and pistachios, authentic Druze cookies, and a variety of other desserts full of color, aesthetics, and beauty, all handmade!
Nohad also conducts baking workshops at her home that include making traditional cookies as well as baking workshops on the Tava. Between the months of December and April, she holds experiential baking and foraging workshops in the field, which combine foraging and preparation of traditional foods such as fatayer stuffed with spinach and za’atar, combined with spices from Druze cuisine.
Sweet Moments, the business Nohad dreamed of all her life, is a combination of her three greatest loves – cooking, baking, and hospitality. She fulfilled her dream about 7 years ago, and the business name was chosen by one of her four daughters.

There is something about a Galilean winter that simply invites you into the kitchen—to set a large table and fill it with good food. On this evening, we come together once again—Yaarit Stern, a pastry chef and culinary workshop facilitator, and Nohad Bisan, a pastry chef and cook specializing in Druze cuisine—for an event that bridges two culinary worlds, traditions, and sets of ingredients, all united by a deep love for hospitality.

A winter day in the Galilee: a crackling bonfire, a fresh block of wood in your hands, and poyke (stew cooked in a cast-iron pot) simmering. Join wood artist Amos in Yodfat to step away from the daily routine, learn to carve your own wooden spoon with traditional tools, and enjoy a hot meal outdoors.

Asia Halabi Daher of Yanuh and Nohad Bisan of neighboring Jat come together, united by a shared love of food and hospitality. They invite you to a rich, kosher winter feast featuring traditional Druze cuisine, hosted at Asia’s home in Yanuh.
