    During quarantine, the author decided to learn how to make baklava, a Middle Eastern dessert, after coming across an instructional video. They have since made it over 20 times and improved their skills. However, the second time was discouraging when family said the dough was undercooked after the author served it at a dinner. Now the author sets the timer for longer and checks the bottom carefully to ensure it is fully baked.

    Storytelling

    By: Michelle Gharibyar


    EDIN 4000: Integration through Arts
    Professor Somi Lee
    Learning How to Make
    Homemade Baklava
    A moment that I have found interesting is
    learning how to make my favourite Middle
    Eastern dessert pastry, Baklava.

    Baklava is a rich, sweet dessert pastry made of


    layers of phyllo dough filled with chopped nuts;
    walnuts, pistachio & cashews and held together
    with syrup.

    I have always had a passion in cooking and


    baking, especially trying out new recipes.
    Baklava is a recipe that I have always wanted to
    attempt in making, however, I have always
    thought it to be difficult. When one day during
    the beginning of quarantine, I came across an
    Instagram video that demonstrated the step-by-
    step instructions in how to make baklava, that
    was extremely easy to understand and follow in
    an organized and detail manner.
    Learning How to Make
    Homemade Baklava
    During the lockdown, there was not much to do, thus I
    decided to learn and teach myself how to cook and bake
    various recipes.

    In relation to the baklava video, it was very well


    constructed that I have possibly made baklava 20 times
    now, that my family has given me the name “pro baklava
    maker.”

    Three skills/knowledge that was required to learn when


    making baklava was learning how to separate and roll the
    phyllo dough because phyllo dough is not like regular
    dough, it is very thin and can tier very easily especially
    when rolling the dough when the nuts are scattered. Also,
    knowing how much sugar to pour into the water. My
    family and I like our baklava sweet, therefore when it
    came to the measurement for sugar in the video, I added
    a few more scoops. Sugar dissolves in water, therefore I
    have to be attentive and taste-test ever 5-8 minutes or so
    making sure the sweetness is still there.

    After making baklava a few times, I have gotten faster


    making it in comparison to the first or second time, thus
    my speed has improved.
    Learning How to Make
    Homemade Baklava
    From all the times I have made baklava the
    second time was the moment that discouraged
    my learning process.

    Extended family was coming over for dinner and


    I decided to make baklava for dessert.
    Everything went well until a family member ate a
    piece and brought to my attention that the
    dough was under cooked, sadly. Not only were
    they hearing good words about my baklava, but
    this was their first time having it. It was quite
    embarrassing to be frankly honest.

    From that moment on, I was quite nervous


    making baklava the next time, it is in the back of
    my mind that “what if this happens again.” Now
    every time I make baklava, I set the timer for an
    extra 15 minutes and check the bottom until I
    notice a golden-brown colour.
