You can either give them their favorite stuff, treat them on a vacation, or give them gift trays of their favorite food. It does not have to be expensive.

Tastes that originated from different parts of the world is indeed a good treat. Baklava gift trays are among the best treats you can give to your family and friends in all occasions.

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.

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 also perfect to bring to parties as finger food. This is something that the guests will pick because it is extraordinary and is very tasty.
