When is National Baklava Day?

Every year on November 17.

What is National Baklava Day?

National Baklava Day on 17 November belongs to the pastry of thin leaves, honey, nuts and syrup that stretches across Greece, Turkey and Cyprus. Baklava is the dessert that took the long route west — from Ottoman kitchens to the Balkans and then to Europe — and every family has its own version: walnut or pistachio, syrup or honey, rolled or layered. The day is a good excuse to bake one and argue about the filling.
