Konafa...

Ramadan is almost up in Egypt and other muslim countries. This is a time for celebration and in Cairo, Konafa is a treat not to be missed.

It's some form of sugary thread, stuffed with nuts, such as pistachios. It's greatness only surpassed by Om Ali, another desert not to be missed and my personal favourite.

I love photographing food, as food makes for a good model.

It's patient, it will sustain almost any kind of abuse and light seems to like it as well. It has texture, it has personality, it stands still for unlimited amounts of time... as I said: perfect.
