Mika Mad Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I have some Greek friends in Corfu. They make fantastic baklava from the walnuts that grow on their own trees. The main ingredients are walnuts, filo pastry and tonnes of honey -gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 My brother-in-law is from Turkey and his mum bakes the most delicious baklava. The funny thing about baklava is that the Turkish claim it is Turkish and the Greek say it is definitely Greek. Well I think it's mediterranian and I love it!

Lana86 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 turkey isn't an arabic country but there's a lot of cultural similarities (mostly because the arabic countries were once part of the ottoman empire) although turkey is more westernized. Anyway, a lot of countries have those sweets. In arabic they're called Baklawa I think... Baklava is the western term. I can't remember all the names of the countries that have them but im pretty sure they're popular amongst some euro countries! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
