It's a Taste of the Old World Right in Your Kitchen!
If you've never had baklava, boy are you missing out! This traditional Greek dessert is common not only in Greece but all throughout the Mediterranean and in many parts of the Middle East. It's a sweet, flaky, nutty creation that has been a staple for centuries, often passed down from family member to family member. In fact, some cooks have their own secret recipe for their own personal version that they don't even share with anyone outside of their immediate family!
Thankfully, you don't have to have a Greek grandmother to show you how to make this delicious Old World treat, and though it can be a bit complicated to make, it's still easier than you might think. We like to make baklava for special occasions, such as holidays because it's not a dessert that most people have all the time, which makes it extra-special. However, it's great anytime, and also ideal as a sweet snack.

my neighbor is from Greece and showed me his mother’s recipe several years ago……and I make this very often
I’ll just buy it made. Sounds too complicated.
I’ve had it. I used to work with middle eastern folks and they would feed me their food all the time.
