Baklava is Turkey's most famous dessert (though we dare you to ask a Greek, Persian or Lebanese person if this delicacy originated in Turkey! It's so wonderful it's claimed by most of the Mediterranean region!).

It consists of whole or chopped pistachios (or walnuts, or hazelnuts) enclosed between paper-thin layers of filo pastry, drizzled with simple syrup. It makes a deliciously sweet and nutty dessert or a treat to serve with aromatic Turkish coffee.

Yum. Yum. Yum.

EB parent Setenay Frucht will make one wonderful tray of baklava with your choice of pistacios, walnuts or hazelnuts. The Bakalava can be delivered to EB or within 10 miles of the school.
