Greece - Portokalopita
A delicious alternative to your average cake, packed full of orange flavour and really easy to make. You start out by tearing the Filo Pastry and leaving it to dry for a few hours before soaking it in custard. Once its baked, drench the entire cake in cinnamon infused orange syrup. Heaven!
Turkey - Baklava
I decided to go the full hog and make Filo Pastry for these crisp, sweet & indulgent Pistachio Baklava. Not for the faint-hearted, you'll be hand rolling 28 large sheets of Filo for this. I love to put a film on to keep me company while I get going.
