Baklava is one of Turkey's most iconic desserts, but most people only ever eat it from a shop window. Here you make it; layer by layer, in a real home kitchen, with someone who learned it the way it was meant to be learned: from family. Rojda's approach is unhurried and personal. Small group, real kitchen, and a recipe that carries 40 layers of history.

You'll start with Turkish tea and a brief introduction to baklava's place in Turkish culture — why it's made, when it's shared, what it means. Then you get to work: preparing the dough, kneading and rolling it out into at least 40 paper-thin layers, crafting the walnut filling, pouring the clarified butter, and finally the warm syrup over your baked creation.
