Did you try to make it? How successful was it?

Someone else did it for me, and it was very very very delicious with almonds and pistache.

Let's call it 'baklawa' please ! Isn't that what we call it in Algeria? Mama mia, it's so expensive to buy ready-made !! Also, sometimes it tastes awful because of the type of fat used. So, my advice is DON'T BUY TOO MUCH in one go; you might end up throwing it away! Otherwise, bloody enjoy it ! Happy Eid to you all on Friday!!

I happened to be browsing some info on local cooking classes and stumbled upon one for baklava today...think I'll probably sign up and give it a go. Is it hard?

And then, later in the day I was at a market and came across local, organic "lavendar honey." It sounds soooo good, and was on sale (last day of this summer market), and I almost bought it but didn't, as I'm not yet sure what kind of honey is needed. But I know where I can get it now if needed.

Anyone know whether "flavored" honeys are a good fit as an ingredient in baklava? I love to experiment, so might just give it a try anyway. If I succeed, I'll have something 'new' to bring to parties every so often.

Thank you again, Happy Eid to all!
