Growing up Jewish in Barcelona, food was one of the most comforting ways to connect to our heritage. This walnut orange blossom Hamantaschen post is in loving memory of Annette Bendayan Z"L who inspired this recipe.

My friend Taly and I grew up together in Barcelona.  She is one of my very best friends from elementary school.  We both attended the only Jewish elementary school in Barcelona. It was a very small school where we all knew each other, which made us develop a special connection that still lasts until today. A kind of connection so strong, that no matter how long we go without seeing each other, it's  like time hasn't gone by and we can pick up where we left off.

Sadly, my friend Taly just lost her mother Annette last week. It was sudden and unexpected.   Annette was a sweet, loving and kind woman with a big warm smile.  She was loved by everyone.

I remember that every time she saw me, she would always ask about everyone in my family. And it wasn't just to be nice or make just small talk. It was always genuine and real, because she really cared .

One of the sweetest memories I have of Annette is of her Oznei Haman (Hamantaschen).  Every year for Purim, we had a kid's celebration at our community center in Barcelona. We would all dress up in costumes and participate in a play.  Each mom would bring a treat  (because we all know, no Jewish celebration is complete without food!).  Taly's mom would always bring Oznei Haman (Hamantaschen) and everyone would always look forward to eating them.  They were delicious and made Purim extra special.

We want to dedicate this post to the memory of Annette Bendayan and her sweet Hamantaschen that always brought a smile to our faces. Rest in peace. You will be missed.

    These are awesome! I've never cooked with orange blossom water before (impulse buy at a specialty shop), and I was a little nervous after smelling it, but they turned out great . . . although I did find them better after a few days, when they seemed to have "mellowed out", as it were.

    I'm assuming the grapeseed and coconut oils and almond milk are to help make it kosher? Non-Jew here, so I have no clue. Either way, they were great, and I was surprised how easy the dough was to work with and how simple a process forming the hamantaschen shape was.

    Thanks for the recipe!

      Ha, Ha, ha, we can relate to impulse buying :-). Grapeseed, coconut oil and almond milk are mainly to make the Hamantaschen dairy free, and vegan instead of using butter. A lot of kosher desserts and cookies are dairy free so they can be eaten after a meat meal since we are not allowed to eat dairy after eating meat of chicken.
