For my son‘s 14th birthday I decided not to make a regular cake but something that I know he loves but doesn’t get very often.
I made baklava:
I used this recipe:
It’s a lot of work but not exactly difficult and totally worth it.

Your Baklava looks amazing! Yummm! (I am in love with phyllo…)
My husband will make this occasionally but has allergies to pistachios so his are usually made with peanuts or almonds.

So far I‘ve used pistachios, walnuts and pecans and all versions were delicious though pistachios are my favorite. I’d like to try roasted hazelnuts some time because those are one of my favorite snacks.

I just shared the recipe with my boyfriend. I also love baklava and don’t get it often enough.
