dessert

Baklava is Turkey's most famous dessert. It consists of whole or chopped pistachio nuts enclosed between paper thin layers of phyllo pastry, drizzled with a honey based syrup. It makes a deliciously sweet and nutty dessert or a treat to serve with aromatic Turkish coffee.

Fondue and chocolate, this recipe matches two Swiss well known symbols. Although dessert fondues are relatively modern, wouldn't get you into regional mood dipping pieces of cake into a caquelon of melted chocolate? Wicked!

This cherry bread pudding is good for dessert or to accompany a cup of hot chocolate for an afternoon snack. Very comforting after a brisk walk in the crisp mountain air.

This fine bread is the perfect symbol and treat for the Easter holiday.

Ragalach or rugalach? To make it more confusing, we have found ready made versions of this pastries in shops under the names ragelach and rugelach.

Easy dessert for cooler days. Finish with something sweet and healthy.
