Lara Ariss's joy of creating sweet treats

Sweet Levantine continues down the path taken in Lara’s previous Levantine Harvest with a further celebration of freshly harvested local ingredients and clever medleys of flavor.

In terms of photo style and design, Sweet Levantine certainly marks the evolution of Lara Ariss from first-time author to accomplished and renown chef. Photographer Joelle Kanaan's style adds a different level of warmth to the gesture of baking, while the soberly laid-out recipes complement Lara's pastry universe.
