Sweetmongers have long appreciated the unsurpassability of Turkish baklava( dishes from puff pastry with walnuts or pistachios soaked in sugar, lemon juice and rose water) and lukuma( dessert made from sugar with flour and starch, as well as with any nuts).

And a separate item of the Turkish menu, of course, are Turkish coffee and tea. A real Turkish coffee is brewed invariably in a Turk. Unforgettable hot tours to Turkey - and Turkish coffee, including, with real foam, the beverage and coffee grounds. Penka, by the way, preserves for a long time the aroma of varieties of this drink. Cooking coffee is best in a copper or silver Turkish( quite expensive).
Tea from the Turks - a favorite drink. Brew it in a two-tiered teapot and serve in small glass cups. And the Turks prefer their small-grated tea, grown on the Black Sea coast.
