Elif Shafak Shares the Secret Recipe from The Happy Fig

Welcome to The Happy Fig tavern from The Island of Missing Trees

We are introduced to The Happy Fig tavern early on in . With its first mention, we learned that “every visitor to Cyprus wanted to dine here  –  and taste its famous stuffed courgette flowers followed by chicken souvlaki, cooked over open-air charcoal – if they were so lucky as to find a table. In this very spot was offered the best food, the best music, the best wine and the best dessert, speciality of the house – ovenroasted figs with honey and aniseed ice cream.”

Ever since we read the description of the dessert, it had our mouths watering. In our open discussion club chat, Torrey C. wondered if it was possible to get our hands on this secret recipe, and Elif was kind enough to share it with us (!!)
