Product Description

An old Turkish saying advises one to "eat sweetly and speak sweetly". Sweets and desserts have always been an important and distinctive element of Turkish cuisine. That was true in Ottoman times and is just as true today. Interestingly enough however, they also fulfill an important social and ritual function. For example; Halvah, a confection made from semolina, is offered on the occasion of major changes in people's lives such as a birth, a death. Also we can ínclude world-famous baklava, as well as "Kadayif' (made from shredded pastry baked in syrup), "Revani" (a sweet made from semolina), "Hanim gobegi" and "Sekerpare" (two kinds of small sweet cake) and ‘’Kemalpasa’’ to these.
