In 2009, before my third child was born, together with dear friends and supported by our campers, we made a four-week trip to Greece: it was there that for the first time we tasted the famous baklava, along with many other recipes like Greek Moussaka or the more famous Greek pita, and it was love at first bite! The following year we went to Turkey, where baklava is a national dessert and we ate a lot there too. Since then I hadn\u2019t made it again, although I often thought about doing it at the first opportunity \u2014 more than 12 years passed and it is time to roll up my sleeves. This specialty is widespread throughout the Middle East and the Balkans, sometimes with slightly different versions, but they are all fairly similar and made with a few ingredients. It\u2019s truly exceptional: rich in flavor and calories, made of many layers of buttered phyllo pastry, generously topped with chopped nuts and drenched in honey syrup \u2014 a dessert you\u2019ll fall in love with from the first taste, but that should be enjoyed very sparingly. If you\u2019ve never made or tried baklava you should definitely fix that \u2014 this recipe was kindly shared with me by a Turkish reader who has followed me for years! I hope the recipe intrigues you and you\u2019ll want to make it; if you already know it like I do, you know exactly what I mean and I\u2019m sure you won\u2019t hesitate to prepare it because it really is amazing!! Let\u2019s go to the kitchen to discover the Turkish\/Greek\/Middle Eastern baklava.
