it's not just a treat it is a fact all those phyllo pastry sweets of the Greek/Turkish whatever you want to call it cuisine require good butter and syrup since those two bring out the aroma and the flavour of the dish. :)

everything in grams! a GODSEND!!!

I was a helmsman in a Greek oil tanker company in the 1970s and my favorite dessert was baklava and my main course was moussaka. Now thanks to Akis i am making my own moussaka and baklava. Akis you are damn good chef.

I started working at Lykes Lines ( was an american cargo shipping company) as a bosun for 2 years, in 1982 I got married, then I quit cuz a married man can not be a merchant marine, why? cuz when leaving the port the woman can cheat on you, hahahahahaha. You know Akis sometimes I miss those days. Piraeus, Naples, New York, Miami, Hamburg, Africa, Asia, Central and South America, women, drunkenness, figths in bars, yeah good fucking olds time.

I have had alot of baklava and this is the BEST baklava recipe EVER! Will never.. ever buy baklava again. This will forever be a stable in my home. Thank you for sharing Akis.

Thanks for all your recipes, Akis. My family and I have enjoyed making your authentic Greek food many times now and the best part is, you make it simple to do. I appreciate you!

I’m making this right now. It’s in the refrigerator for 20 minutes while the oven pre-heats! I’m making for one of my best friends. It’s her birthday and we don’t exchange gifts, per se, we eat!! She loves Greek food. I’m Greek, but not a very good cook/baker. I know this going to be AKILICIOUS!!! Thank you Akis!!

Thank you I love it. my mum is greek from ithiki and I grew up with this great greek sweet and I had these at my wedding.

Amo essas receitas e também o chef que é o mais lindo do mundo!!!

My beautiful Mum in law Amelia was the best cook I've ever met. Her Baklava, was outstanding. I was once told by a taxi driver that frequently visited the Greek cafe she supplied sweets etc for, that her Baklava was better than back home in Greece. We miss you Mum Amelia, always

J'adore, merci de tes recettes et de ta bonne humeur!!!

Your accent adds to your authenticity. So glad I saw you on Jamie Oliver's channel!

lol this is turkish food. and middle asian dishes: D lol. moor greeks. The word baklava originates from Central Asia. Its origin comes from the word "bond". the old Turks started calling it "broad bean". later it became "baklava" over time. and origin comes from the word "to bind".

You make everything look so easy

Awesome I will make this tomorrow love your stuff so much fun to watch and make

I am amazed with your info Akis about the origins of the baklava and also pleased to hear that from a Greek.We have so similarities in our culture,food and drinks but we are always arguing about the origins unneccesarily.i hope this will end one day.Greetings from other side of Aegean Sea ;)

Umm, I'm from neither of those countries, but I have friends from both sides. Both cultures take great pride in their heritage and that's respectable. But guys, come onnnnn, history is something that you cannot undo, just like the Ottomans had influence over the nation's under their empire, those nations left influence on them aswell. Is it really worth arguing over sth like this? And if a dish has been part of a cultures every day life for hundreds of years, it's theirs aswell. We have sarma in Hungary, I know it wasn't invented by us, but it's part of our culture and we are making it our own way. So chill people and enjoy your baklava hahahaha😄😄

I’ve learned so much from you!! Thank youuu 🥰

Baklava, baklawa turkish/lebanese/syrian does make the best out of the best the best baklawa ever!

Hu que maravilha em muito bom!

Tasty even though I baked mine too long (2 hrs.) and used too much syrup. Next time I'll check it at 90 minutes and use half the syrup. Gonna try your Vegetable Medley recipe next.
