Turkish delight is a soft square confection based on sugar and starch, finished with icing sugar. The texture is what defines it: supple and slightly elastic, with a bite unlike anything found in a gum or boiled sweet. Turkish delight goes back to the Ottoman court kitchens and was introduced to Western Europe in the nineteenth century, where it quickly became a luxury served with coffee. Ours is made with gum arabic instead of gelatine. Alongside this classic version we also offer rose, lemon and pomegranate.
