I had a coffee morning with my Scottish friends and neighbours yesterday and i made some Persian sweets such as Persian muffin cakes, Jalebe and sesame halva.
I was not sure how much they would like them or even would like or not?!! but when i served it, I could not believe in my eyes all finished quickly, and they loved it and asked for recipe :)

Halva is one of most favourit desserts in Middle East countries such as Iran, Turkey, Arabic countries around the Persian gulf, and even in North Africa , East Europe….
The halva means sweet and usually most type of halva are dense.

And the Sesame tahini halva ( halva shekari) made from sesame paste and is just piece of heaven in you plate. Soooooo delicious, rich, with dried t-crumbly exture, and fulllllll of taste and garnished with pistachio.

Ardakan city in Yazd province in centre of Iran is well known for making high quality halva.. It’s said, this type of halva was invented around 500 years ago. One of Iranian kings was looking for a simple -nutritious food which could be easily carried by his soldiers and do not need to be warmed up, therefore, top chefs invented Sesame tahini halva.
