All Arto der Haroutunian's twelve cookbooks written in the 1980s
became classics; it was his belief that the rich culinary tradition
of the Middle East is the main source of many of our Western
cuisines and his books were intended as an introduction to that
tradition. His Sweets & Desserts of the Middle East is regarded
as the seminal work on the subject but it had been out of print for
almost thirty years. At last here in a new edition is the Middle
Eastern cookbook that everyone wants. In this book he takes us on a
sumptuous and erudite tour of one of the delights of Middle Eastern
cuisine. Sweets and desserts occupy a special place in those lands
where natutal food resources can sometimes be limited. The people
have made supreme the art of creating delights from very little and
in doing do have enriched their world with wafer-thin pastries,
luscious halvas, crunchy biscuits, exotic fruits and cool
refreshing sorbets. Many Middle Eastern desserts are very sweet
(literally soaked in honey or syrup) and yet their variety is
infinite. It reflects the multifarious origins and races of the
people of the region and combines ancient traditions and modern
influences. One basic sweet may have been adapted in a dozen
different ways. Tantalisingly fragrant, sweet and succulent or dry
and spiced with the aroma of the East they transport us as if by
magic carpet to the exotic lands of the orient. There are recipes
for sesame and date baklavas, almond and pistachio coated biscuits,
tempting stuffed fruits, rich mousses, delicate sorbets and syrups,
jams and preserves, all of which may tempt you to conjure up these
Middle Eastern delicacies in your own home.
