The wife makes an excellent Baklava around the holidays

Baklava is neither Turkish nor Greek dessert. Baklava first appeared in the Mesopotamia region and has a structure very similar to other desserts in today's Mesopotamia region, for example, it is possible to see baklava-like desserts in Iran, Iraq, Syria, but baklava was given its current form in Gazi Antep thanks to the Ottoman cuisine, that is, the Ottoman cuisine has carried baklava to the present day.

In addition, when Turks migrated to Anatolia, they were introduced to dessert. Since the concept of dessert was not much in the ancient Turks, they had sugary dishes instead of dessert. 

But whatever, food is too good to have a nationality.
