MIDDLE EASTERN COOKIE BAKING KIT – BAKE THE WORLD

Middle Eastern Cookie Baking Kit – The fragrant aromas of rose water and orange blossoms, sticky sweet honey, and earthy ground nuts–sounds like paradise, doesn’t it? Middle Eastern baking is inspired by seasonal harvests and incorporates earth’s bounty into every bite.

Coming from a mostly deserted region, you might be surprised to learn that many of the famous European cookies are adaptations from sweets native to the Middle East. The Mediterranean was an international highway where Middle Easterners imported cakes, dried fruits, and nuts into Europe through trade routes. Ground nuts or dried citrus in recipes are good indicators that it originated from the Middle East!

Because baking is tied to cultural practices, we’ve chosen to celebrate Arabic baking instead of narrowing it down to a specific country. The cookies in this Middle Eastern Baking kit are common sweets eaten during Eid, Nowruz, and other Arabic celebrations, but are delicious any time of the year.

• Rolling Pin
