Sweet dishes and treats.

Turkish confectionery

Turkey is the bridge between Europe and Asia. It shows plenty of Middle Eastern influence in their cuisine, however, Turkey is thoroughly Mediterranean and for a good number of Turkish dishes, you will find a very similar one in Greek cuisine. Not exactly so in their confectionery. It is amazing what it is achieved with a handful of ingredients -pastry or dough, nuts, a few spices, and sugar, honey or syrup.

Wine and chocolate

Wine has long been paired with fruit, meat and other fine foods. But pairing with chocolate has a relatively recent, and controversial, history. There are those who insist that the twain should never meet. Nevertheless, there are wines and chocolates that make perfect partners.

Dutch babies

Dutch babies are oven pancakes made from liquid batter. They are similar to a large Yorkshire pudding and from German origin... neither Dutch, nor babies. 

Dutch babies are often served as a breakfast or brunch dish and can be sweet or savory. 

Brazilian corn cakes

These corn cakes don't come in one unique flavor. They have can have many variations. Substituting the grated cheese with grated coconut will produce a different flavor altogether; adding some canned corn to the dough will produce some flavor more similar to the Argentinian addictive choclos.

Amish peanut butter

Amish peanut butter is a spread for bread rolls. Amish peanut butter can also be purchased from several companies that specialize in Amish foods, but why buy something that is easily made at home? This does make a rather large batch. It stores well in a sealed container, but making a half batch works well too.
