Baklava Gift Trays Are Great Gift Ideas

By Beryl Dalton


Sometimes, people find it really hard to think of the best gifts to give to their loved ones. Gifts vary from material things, vacation and travel, or even food. As always, it is the thought that matters and it is much better to give gifts than to receive some, as the cliche goes.

One of the best things in life is to try some foods that you cannot ordinarily find in your refrigerator on a daily basis. Baklava is one of the most unique and exquisite delicacies you and your loved ones can experience a taste of in occasions or in ordinary days. The best baklava gift trays can be found in San Diego, California.

This pastry dessert was originally served in the Ottoman Empire. Western and Central Asia also include this as one of their traditional cuisines. There are regional variations to its recipe but the name is still the same. In the states, the tastiest baklavas are found in San Diego, California which has quite a number of stores that serve the delicacy as a specialty.

Prepared in large pans or trays, the phyllo dough are arranged layer by layer. Each layer is stuffed with pistachio, walnuts, or almonds and are held together by syrup. Traditionally, they use honey to put the ingredients altogether.

In San Diego, California, there are already varieties of the pastry with different fillings. They still follow the traditional preparation, but they have added some twists into it to come up with new tastes. In Turkey, they authentically serve it with pistachios and kaymak. In San Diego, they also top it with raisins or blueberry then pour some syrup or melted chocolate over.

This is the perfect finger food that can be brought to parties. Not only does it look mouth watering, but it also tastes like you are taken to the Middle East. It is a perfect dessert as well for family gatherings and friendly get together.

Since this dessert is easy to make, you can actually make some of your own and give them to your friends. Adding your personal touch to gifts make it even more delicious. That is, if you have the time to make some. If not, you can buy from pastry stores and bakeries that have very nice gift packaging. They are actually very affordable.

As a gift idea, this is perfect as it is not only delicious but is also very unique. The ingredients are not that expensive as well so if you prefer to do it on your own, you can do so with ease. The pastry is not that expensive if you buy them ready made in stores, either. The most important thing is the thought of giving and sharing.

So when you think about giving gifts next time, try this idea. The best way to please people is through their tummies. For sure everyone you know will like baklava even if they have not tasted it yet. By giving it to them, you are triggering their excitement and warming their hearts. The nicest memories are best spent with family and friends talking over delicious delicacies.
