Outline of kadayif

Term kadayif (Turkish: kadayıf) is used to describe a variety of pastry desserts in the Turkish cuisine, including the actual confections and unfinished intermediate products like dough.[1] Arabic products made of similar dough are called knafeh.[2] While the word kadayif comes from Arabic qatayef linguistically, there is little overlap between the actual Arabic qatayef and Turkish kadayif desserts.[2] Kadayif as a generic name for a group of pastry desserts can be found in the cookbook Melceü't-Tabbâhîn (1844).[3]
