Five Star Gift Ideas

A great gift idea for your granddaughter who loves baklava would be to get her a baklava making set. This will allow her to create her own baklava at home and experiment with different recipes and techniques. Here are a few ideas for what could be included in the set:

1. Baklava recipe book: A great gift for any budding baker is a cookbook dedicated to their favorite dessert! There are many great books out there that feature recipes for different types of baklava, as well as tips for making the perfect pastry.

2. Baklava pan: There are actually specific pans you can buy that are designed to make the perfect baklava, with the right size and shape for the pastry and filling. Look for a pan that's made of a non-stick material for easy clean-up.

3. Baklava ingredients: Depending on how DIY your granddaughter wants to go with her baklava making, you could include ingredients like phyllo pastry, nuts (such as walnuts or pistachios), honey, and spices.

4. Decorative tin or container: Once your granddaughter has made her baklava, she'll want to store it somewhere safe and where it won't dry out. A decorative tin or container would be the perfect finishing touch to the gift.

In addition to getting her a baklava making set, you could also consider signing her up for a cooking or baking class that focuses on Middle Eastern dishes. This would be a great opportunity for her to learn more about the culture and history behind baklava, and to meet other people who share her enthusiasm for the dessert.

Another idea would be to gift her a gift card to a bakery or restaurant that serves exceptional baklava. This way, she can enjoy her favorite dessert without having to do any of the work herself!

Or you can get her a star map with an important date you share.
