Maple-Cinnamon Toast With Citrus and Crème Fraîche

Yeasted pancakes mixed with saffron and cardamom (called chebab) are typical of Gulf countries, but I must confess I much prefer these lacy thin crepes.

Semolina flour and turmeric give this simple cake a sunny hue and nutty flavor.

We don’t bake with grapes as often as we should. But even the most average supermarket varieties come alive when roasted with a bit of sugar and seasoning.

Kubez bread, a.k.a. kimaaj, is an Arabic flatbread or pita bread. It’s a staple in the Middle East used as an accompaniment for various dishes or as a wrap.

This sunny mango bread is ultra-moist and bursting with tropical flavor; the loaf is topped with a tangy mango-lime glaze that sets to a glossy finish.

Put these out at a gathering, and we guarantee you’ll be hearing rave reviews for a long time.

Serve a thick slice for breakfast or an afternoon pick-me-up.

These cookies are gently sweetened and perfect with a cup of tea.
