From the Publisher

Traditional Greek Baklava

This recipe from “the old county,”, as Greek immigrants often refer to their homeland, is a simple yet classic version of baklava. Phyllo dough, nuts, spices and a sweet syrup – the classic base for Greek baklava.

Syrian Pistachio Lady’s Bracelet

Swar As-sitt, also known as lady’s bracelet, is a delectable Syrian delicacy that is a variation of Middle Eastern baklava. The dessert’s round shape resembles a bracelet, which is likely how it acquired its name.

Albania Purses Bakllavë

This Albanian take on baklava is shaped into little bundles that look like tiny purses.

The ingredients are similar to baklavas from other countries, but the unique shape gives it that little extra something special.

Turkish Pistachio Baklava

This Turkish-style baklava tastes deeply and richly of pistachio nuts and butter. It does not have any spices, honey, or other flavors that you might find in other versions. The ingredients are simple and the syrup is sweet.

Baklava Cheesecake

The nutty, syrupy flavors of baklava pair beautifully with the tangy/sweet creaminess of cheesecake in this beautiful dessert.

Chocolate Hazelnut Baklava

A substantial quantity of chocolate and chopped hazelnuts are encased between buttery phyllo layers and baked until golden brown and crisp. The addition of chocolate elevates the traditional baklava to a new level.

Baklava Magic Bars

These bars are a play off of the super sweet magic cookie bars. Our 7 layers begin and end with flaky phyllo dough filled with layers of graham crackers, nuts, coconut flakes and chocolate chips. And if that’s not enough for your sweet tooth, it’s topped with a creamy condensed milk syrup.

Baklava Granola

This baklava-style granola is loaded with cinnamon, nutmeg, ghee, and honey. So simple to put together and great dessert topper over ice cream, yogurt or puddings.

Saragli

Saragli is a traditional Greek sweet pastry found in every bakery. They are delicate little crunchy phyllo rolls with a sweet nutty filling and deliciously sweet syrup topping. These make the perfect little treat and often take just 2 bites to finish!

Lebanese Baklawa

This treat is flavored with beautifully scented rosewater. The nut filling is placed in the center of the Baklawa, rather than spread out through various layers which gives you

a big nut flavor in every bite.

Azeri Pakhlava

This sweet, layered dessert is flavored with cardamom and saffron. It is traditionally cut and served into diamond shapes to symbolize fire.

Jordanian Warbat

Warbat is a pastry filled with nuts, doused in sugar syrup, and garnished with pistachios, almonds or sweet cheese. This exquisite pastry, is traditionally prepared in a triangular shape resembling a fan. It is native to Jordan but can be found in various forms throughout the Middle East.
