Well, today we had a bit of fun making an ‘over-the-top’ Baklava! As we have mentioned all to many times before, all too many recipes skimp on ingredients in favor of quicker preparation time and lower cost… beware… this is extravagant  and luxurious recipe.

First we used over 4 cups of finely chopped Pistachios, Almonds and Pecans. In addition, the flavors of Cinnamon, Allspice, Cloves, the zests of orange and lemons, Rose water, honey and vanilla bean made it wonderful! Oh yeah, we made our own Rose water from Roses from our garden!

For our main dish is our own ‘Seafood Lasagna’… but this dessert is worth waiting!
