Baklava or baklawa is a rich, sweet pastry featured in many cuisines of the former Ottoman, Arab World and Iranian countries, including Greece. It is a pastry made of layers of filo dough filled with chopped nuts and sweetened with syrup or honey.

1 package philo dough
1 lb sweet cream butter melted
1 1/2 cups of finely chopped nuts of your choice
1/8 cup sugar
1/8 tsp cloves
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1 tbs water
1 cup simple Med. Syrup
ground pistachio to decorate
Simple Syrup:
2 cups sugar
1 cup water
2 tbs lemon juice
1 tbs rose water
1 tbs orange blossom water
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix nuts, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon and sugar in a bowl. Butter each later of the philo dough and layer 4 sheets at a time then add nuts and repeat the layers. Cut the pastry into any shape, most commonly squares or diamond shape. Place in oven and cook for 30-45 minutes or until golden brown. Drizzle the baklava while in the pan with the simple syrup and then let cool completely before serving. Top each piece with ground pistachio.
For syrup, place sugar, water and lemon in a pot and let come to a soft boil, let simmer for 10 minutes then remove from heat and add rose water and orange blossom water, let simmer for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely before adding to sweet.
Love your website! Could you please tell me where one could buy rose water and orange blossom water? Thank you!!!

Well souvlaki is just meat cut into cubes and grilled. You can add paprika, black pepper, and salt as a seasoning. YOU can serve this with roasted vegetables and rice.

Where can I buy orange blossom water? Would greatly appreciate it if you would include a recipe for Turkish Delight (the rose-flavored variety that is dusted with powdered sugar). Thanks so much! P.S. Would love to see you publish an illustrated cookbook! If you do, please provide link on your website for purchase.
