Baklava is a delicious Middle Eastern/Turkish/Eastern European dessert made with phyllo pastry, nuts and honey. I decided to make this Baklava with 3 types of nuts (pistachios, hazelnuts and walnuts) but you can really mix and match adding a little more of one and a little less of the other. Some people make their Baklava with only walnuts or only pistachios but I wanted to mix things up and try them all together.

Baklava’s can be found all over the Middle East in many different shapes and sizes as well as different nut and spice adaptations - my personal favourites are Pistachio Baklavas but you can easily exchange the Pistachios with for example walnuts - you can also play with the spices or leave them out all together. Baklava’s are extremely fun to make, yes they are quite the calorie bomb but your guests will love them (plus it’s one of those things people think takes AGES to make and will be even more impressed).
