Honey & Co.: The Baking Book (Sarit Packer, Itamar Srulovich)

Sticky buns full of cherries and pistachios in the morning; a loaf of rich dough rolled with chocolate, hazelnuts and cinnamon that has been proving since dawn and comes out of the oven fresh for elevenses.

Lunch is a crisp, crumbly shell of pastry filled with spiced lamb or burnt aubergine, and at teatime there are cheesecakes and fruit cakes, small cakes and massive cookies. After dinner there might be poached peaches with roses or something more traditional, sweet and salty knafe drenched in orange blossom syrup, or maybe just a small piece of fresh marzipan.
