Rep Power: 2 | ooh, I love Baklava! The best that I have tried was from a middle eastern deli nearby, they make their own from scratch, both the traditional pistachio and walnut, I love them both. I may finally give this a shot.

Rep Power: 0 | I'd love to try making it. I love Baklava but it always seemed overwhelming to give it a go. I usually buy it at Whole Foods.

Rep Power: 3 | I love it and have made it... but, it's been a while. Lot of work layering all that phyllo dough.

Rep Power: 10 | Probably my least favorite dessert. Too sweet and messy for my liking. But then, I'm not much of a sweet eater.

Rep Power: 2 | I have found that the authentic scratch made baklava although sweet, is often much less sweet than the commercial stuff that can be found just about anywhere. The lebenese deli that I go to makes really good baklava, and the flavor of the nuts comes through much more than the sugar syrup. But this is definitely not a dessert for those who aren't into sweets!

Rep Power: 3 | I don't like to get baklava that is so syrupy that when you bite into it so much syrup runs outs it's like wringing out a sponge. Just enough sticky goodness to hold all those layers together and a wee bit on the tips of your fingers for licking off when finish.

Rep Power: 3 | I can't speak for the recipe, since I'm allergic to nuts, but I loved the episode.
It was fun and filled with so much stuff
I want that painting of AB  | |
