baklava . Turkish Desert

If you are far away your family and your country, what do you miss first excep your mother???

Of course food!!!What will happen if your friend bring your favourite dessert ? Before I finished all of them I took pictures and let me introduce it to you...Baklava ...

Baklava's history comes from Ottoman Empire thats why, nowadays between Greek, Arabic and Turkish tradional life is known.

What it makes baklava special is to need too much effort to make it. To get 6-8 layers in one piece, it is supposed to thin phyllo dough which is not easy to make iy. Also to make perfect sauce is not easy in terms of juicy, tasting and temperature of it. Do not perfect good pistachio too. So, in addition to the tasting, I always admire how to make baklava. In other words, baklava is traditional and still hits.
Especially capable of eating is here priceless....:)

  4. This looks so appetizing! I have eaten Baklava a few times but a really delicious one only once before. Like you said, cooking it must be quite a workout and if it's not perfect, it's a waste. Would be great if you can share the authentic Turkish recipe for this.
