Several years ago baker Lili Vanili started Cook for Syria, with the help of UNICEF Ambassador Serena Guen (founder of travel magazine Suitcase), and top food instagrammer Clerkenwell Boy. It has since become an international, fund-raising movement.
Their new baking book has traditional recipes from Syrian families, as well as Syrian-inspired offerings contributed by leading chefs and cookbook writers. Big names include Jamie Oliver, Henrietta Inman, Thomasina Miers, Jasmine Helmsley, Rachel Khoo, and Claire Ptak of Violet Cakes (of Royal Wedding fame).
Delicacies include salted caramel and tahini cookies, along with orange, rosemary and walnut sables. Every recipe tempts a baking session or sale.
