Baklava Gift Trays Are Great Gift Ideas

By Beryl Dalton


Gift giving has always been so sweet. It is a pleasant surprise receiving something from your loved ones. Tangible and intangible gifts equally give smiles to the recipients, but food is most especially very appealing. You can share it to anyone, especially to your family and friends, even to your giver.

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.

The food did not originate in the state. It originated in the Ottoman Empire and in some parts of Western and Central Asia. This sweet Turkish pastry can be your sweetest gift to your significant other. It is made of phyllo stuffed with nuts and honey. There are a lot of twists and varieties of fillings that have been invented throughout the years as the recipe has already been adopted by pastry chefs in different parts of the world. It is also mouth watering to serve it with pistachios and kaymak.

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.

San Diego, California is one of the places on earth that serves the best baklava in the world. There are many restaurants here that serve the pastry as their specialty. They offer gift trays at affordable prices as well. These can be tasty treats to your family on a get together dinner, ideal for your dessert.

You can also bring these to parties. You can even build your own business of baklava because this is so easy to prepare. In making them, you can have your family work together as a good bonding activity. In making the packaging, you just have to be creative so that you can attract a lot of customers.

If you do not have much time to make the pastry, you can simply buy in your local bakeries. You can actually find this in many different stores but they differ in quality, taste, and presentation. Choose the ones that best suit your preference.

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.

They say that giving foods as gift is probably the sweetest and the most meaningful thing as compared to material things. The way to flutter the heart of a person is to make his stomach full. With baklava, you will give an implication to the receiver that you are sweet and at the same time, has good taste.
