Archive story

Baklava is shared across Greek, Turkish, Armenian, Arab, Persian, and broader Ottoman-region foodways, so an American archive treats it with care. In the United States, Greek American bakeries, diners, church festivals, and immigrant families helped make phyllo, nuts, and honey syrup familiar to many non-Mediterranean diners. This version leans Greek American in flavor, with walnuts, pistachios, cinnamon, buttered phyllo, and honey-lemon syrup.
