Which dessert is named after the heroic thirdcentury Queen Zenobia of Palmyra? Which luscious rice pudding shares its name with the eighthcentury Abbasid Caliph alMa'mun? How does one make the perfect Baqlawah? Blending cookery with culture and recipes with history, this is the fascinating and delectable story of traditional Arab sweets.
