Temptation comes in all sorts of shapes…
How can one resist?
For the longest time, I have avoided baklava. Its never been my taste. I did try and liked some in Greece, but it wasn’t my taste in sweets.
Or so I thought, until husband picked up this giant box of baklava from Costco. One taste and I was hooked. It was just delicious. Flaky, delicious pastry, sandwiching tiny pieces of nuts, with a drizzle of honey, from what I could figure out. They simply melt in the mouth, while your fingers reach for the next one:) And not terribly sweet either. In other words, perfection. As far as I don’t look at the weighing scales, that is 🙂

Haa baklava. I never liked the store bought ones but while growing up we had a neighbour in Dubai (I think she was Greek) who used to make the best Baklava ever.
That must have been just delicious! I never liked it before, but this one was just amazing!
It look yummy 🙂
It was:)
Never heard of this dish but the pic makes it look tempting!
Its a Greek sweet, and as I said, I am normally not too fond of it, but this one was just amazing!
I have not really seen it in India.. but hv tasted it the day I landed in london….so famed is my sweet-tooth that my cousin welcomed me with this 😀
🙂 did you like it?
Tried baklava in Abu Dhabi. Didn’t like it too much.
Maybe they have a different version in UK?
No, I never liked the ones we get here either. They are always too sweet for me. Husband loves them. This time he didn’t like them much, guess it wasn’t sweet enough for him:)
oh I thought Baklava was Turkish??
It might be. I might have got it all wrong:(
Not a big lover of sweets- cakes and chocolates are a different story though- so I’ll just admire the shapes in here, Smits :).
These look quite similar to the typical Arabian sweets you get here 🙂
Me neither, Deeps, give me cakes and chocolates anytime, but this was wonderful!
Ditto me too 🙂 Hugs to both of u 😀 How hv u been? 😉
My husband loves them but I never liked them..
Like the sound of it. Should try to find it here in India.
ohh baklava.. hands go to it with no second thought at every visit to the store but we try to restrict as much as possible 🙂
Anything sweet pass it on to me 🙂
I had them in Dubai didn’t like it, its was not sweet at all…very bland….
Oh oh. Normally, I find them too sweet, this was perfect for my taste 🙂
Have heard a lot about this dish, but never tried it. I doubt it is available in Bangalore. Looks delicious, though! 🙂
You can try it at Nandos. They do a great peri-Peru drizzle on the hummus!
Sorry, wrong reply to the wrong comment:( the perils of blogging on the phone!
