1/ Legend has it the Assyrians had been preparing baklava as early as the 8th century B.C. by layering unleavened flat bread with chopped nuts in between, drenching it in honey, and then baking it in primitive wood-burning ovens #BaklavaDay
2/ It is claimed the baklava we consume today was perfected during the Ottoman Empire in the 15th century after invading Constantinople (present day Istanbul). For over 500 years the kitchens of the Imperial Ottoman Palace became the culinary hub of the empire #BaklavaDay
