Baklava Swirl Ice Cream
Try this no-churn ice inspired by the flavours of baklava.
Baklava Cheesecake
love cheesecake, being Greek I love baklava, so combining these desserts into one is a fantastic idea.
Politiko Baklava
I’ve been making this version of Baklava for a few years. There are many styles and varieties but this one is my favourite. A round tray is used, I have a diagram below that demystifies how to cut the baklava pieces into diamonds and when you look at the whole pan, it looks like a […]
Baklava Cigars
Continuing with my series in the realm of Baklava, I present Pourakia or Baklava cigars. Again, all the flavour of Baklava can be had with these easy to make roll-ups. You can make them as big or as small a you wish.
Baklava French Toast
Well, almost. Baklava is a rich dessert of nuts and spices, sandwiched by thin sheets of phyllo and finished off with a lemony syrup. Here in Ontario, it’s a long weekend and we’re celebrating Family Day and some you others may be celebrating another tiny day (insert sarcasm emoji here)…Valentine’s Day. Make a decadent […]
Duck Baklava
The recipe’s inspiration comes from a trip to New York City last year while I was also preparing for some pop-up dinners in New Jersey. On one of my free evenings, I attended a grand tasting of Greek wines hosted by New Wines of Greece. There, I was able to sip on some of Greece’s […]

Fact, Greeks have eaten yogurt products for ages and we will continue to do so. Fact, Greek style yogurts have become the darling product of the decade. Some […]
Giannotiko Style Baklava
My apologies for not posting at my usual pace but it continues to be busy around here: just submitted the manuscript for my first cookbook (in stores November), now I have to work on the photographs, I am busy organizing my Greek Supper Clubs, Greek Easter just past and here we are. Time flies. The […]
Baklava Ice Cream
I have a confession: when I bought an ice cream machine last summer it was for the sole purpose of making this ice cream – baklava ice cream. Inspiration comes from many: I first saw this concept at Jenn The Leftover Queen’s. There’s George Calombaris’ take on it and then there’s my friend David Tsirekas’ […]
Margarites or Baklava Daisies
Aren’t mom’s the best? Just when I thought my mom showed me all the tricks in her book (brain) of kitchen techniques, she smacks-down this little ditty on the kitchen counter! I’ve seen these in assortment trays from Greek bakeries. I’ve eaten these at Greek festivals. I seen these offered by other cuisines (Middle-Eastern, Lebanese […]
