A lovely reader once came up to me and thanked me sweetly for this rose and Turkish delight scone recipe. She said that when she made it for an event, they were the most popular item on the table. These scones are scented with rosewater with chunks of Turkish delight in them. They're topped with a drizzle of pink rose icing and served with a rose crème!

2 - Spiral Sandwiches

These sandwiches are so simple but rolled up in the most ingenious way (it's all about the way the bread is sliced)! They're so tasty and can be made with salmon, tuna or ham.
