"Sweets Of Arabia.." by chef Osama El-Sayed Unlike many parts of the world, where a good dessert is the natural conclusion to a good meal, Arabian desserts are treats that are meant to stand alone. I often enjoy them in the mid-afternoon with a small cup of fresh mint tea, and have built some of my fondest memories from just such occasions. In "Sweets Of Arabia " I share many of the secrets I have learned in making Arabian pastries through the years. I embrace many of the traditional characteristics of these sweets, and add some new twists to old classics. These sweets are rich and aromatic. They are meant to be savored in small quantities where every little bite bursts with dense, sweet flavor. Each cookie, cake, and confection included here provides a simple pleasure sure to rest in your memory for years to come. More than 70 Recipes with photos and step-by-step illustrations..
