"Legend has it that in his endeavor to cope with all his wives a certain Sultan summoned all his confectionery experts and ordered them to produce a unique dessert to add to his collection of secret recipes for which he was famous. As a result of extensive research Turkish Delight was born."
The ingredients are as basic as sugar, water and starch, but the flavor is smooth, slightly soft and sticky and dreamy floral sweet. It is impossible to imagine how such perfection evolves from the list of ingredients. The Turkish Delights in this beautifully designed box are flavored with lemon or rose.
The rose flavor is especially exotic and transports you to lands of mystery and intrigue. You can quite see how Edmund from C.S. Lewis' book "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe" could become enchanted with the flavor of Turkish Delights and obey the White Witch, although I think I will stop at one box this year and order another next year.
The beautiful box and the sweet delicious confections make this an excellent gift for anyone you want to spoil.
