The stories behind Turkey's huge variety of sweets and puddings are
as fascinating as their multiplicity of flavours. This riveting
exploration of their history and role in Turkish culture is a
voyage of adventure, taking us from the sultan's palace to the
homes of ordinary people in Turkey's villages and towns, and beyond
to Central Asia, Persia, Arabia, Egypt and the Levant. This is the
land of Turkish delight perfumed with rosewater and musk, rose jam,
whose praises were sung by Rumi, asure, zerde tinted with saffron,
baklava filled with nuts, clotted cream or cheese, milk puddings
and helvas, strings of nuts dipped in grape syrup, lollipops in the
shape of animals and model gardens built of sugar carried in
wedding processions. The first study of Turkish confectionery ever
to be published, Sherbet and Spice offers a rare look at the
evolution of sweets from the non-European angle, based on many
Turkish sources little known outside Turkey that lend a new
dimension to the subject.
