Food of the Day: Baklava

Baklava or baklawa is a rich, sweet pastry featured in many cuisines of the former Ottoman countries. It is a pastry made of layers of phyllo dough filled with chopped walnuts or pistachios and sweetened with syrup or honey.

It's one of my absolute favourite occasional indulgences and when done right seriously tastes like some sort of nectar soaked pastry from the ancient gods!
