Tastemade icon and TV Host Lamees Attar-Bashi is letting us in on a ton of her foolproof recipes, including her mother’s traditional baklawa and Lamees’ own incomparable ground pistachio cheesecake. She gives kitchen-saving tips for handling particularly thin phyllo dough (hint: avocado spray will be your friend!) and offers a ton of recipes that can be made quickly and with a few simple ingredients already in the pantry. Lamees’ well-traveled lifestyle, along with her accolades from worldwide festivals and magazines—including the Dubai Food Festival, BBC Good Food, Ahlan Magazine, and Gourmet Mag—are evident in the book, which is packed with mouthwatering modern interpretations on traditional favorites. Unlike anything else, this book is bound to transform your kitchen into a sugary haven, and will have your neighbors wondering if a five-starred bakery moved in upstairs.
