A number of people have taken this realization and transformed it into a living, breathing concept: the home-based bakery. Beirut boasts a growing number of these food outlets. We featured a batch of them months ago, and here\u2019s a fresh, new selection worth its weight in sugar, spice and everything nice.

Farah Malhas\u00a0and\u00a0Joy Zahar\u00a0founded the boutique home bakery From Grandma with Love a mere six months ago, though they\u2019re anything but amateur. They craft seven varieties of cookies, 11 cakes, five cheesecakes, and four other desserts including brownies, lazy cake, donuts, and date delights.\u00a0Get a whiff of their carrot cake: “superbly moist, textured, spiced, and slathered with tangy cream cheese icing.\u201d\u00a0Not only will you fall in love with their edible delights, but the rustic packaging has a quaint, homey feel to it, too.
