The seductive flavors of the Middle East have won over food lovers around the world, but the sweets of the region have remained largely unknown to Western palates—until now. Sweet Middle East, by doyenne of Middle Eastern cooking Anissa Helou, presents 70 classic desserts fragrant with spices, honey, dates, and nuts, and steeped in tradition. One bite of Anissa's authentic cookies, cakes, custards, puddings, and more reveals why these enchanting desserts deserve to be shared beyond their native lands.

Most of these tasty sweets can be made with ingredients on hand, but a few call for items, such as mastic, that you may have to plan ahead to buy in a specialty store. Text is clear, and illustrations most helpful.

Checking the NYT cooking articles online, some selected recipes sparked my curiosity - and I was not disappointed. Different approaches, without being so alien they could not be understood, well presented. A total delight.

Having been born of Lebanese heritage I know if the fabulous desserts created throughout the Middle East. Most were not contained in this book. I was disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars the instructions are simple and easy to follow
Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2015
Fabulous! I have met the semolina nut cake, the saffron ice cream and the bread of the seraglio. Here, the instructions are simple and easy to follow. Most recipes require rose water, saffron and semolina. If you have those on hand, you can make most of the recipes. There is something scrumptious about these desserts, perhaps it is the ingredients that make it slightly more healthy than your average Western dessert. These desserts all turned out perfect and like the pictures. This is also a pretty easy cookbook for a novice chef to use.

I bought this book out of curiosity, and a love of both Halva and Baklava. I was surprised at the variety of recipes, including ice cream that it contained.
