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.
The same kitchen where she's been making baklava since her grandmother first taught her. 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. Every step is hands-on and guided. Rojda walks you through the techniques at a relaxed pace, sharing stories as you cook. When the baklava comes out of the oven, you'll sit down together to taste it over tea or Turkish coffee. As Rojda says, "My grandmother taught me that food is love — and baklava, especially, is meant to be shared." Recipes are available on the LokalBond Recipes website, so you can recreate it at home. Since baklava needs time in the oven, this experience runs 3.5 to 4 hours in total. Plan accordingly and come hungry; the wait is worth it. You are welcome to bring a container to take your home-cooked baklava home.
