Lovely video!!! And you look good in it to! Congratilations!
10 minute baklava oh what a great video!! I love your tv prescence, your too cute!!
sweetlife
happy holidays!!
very interesting technique and great video ..mabruk!…my only question/concern would be, by not spreading the butter on the sheets ,especially the crumpled ones, do you not get areas of dough that are undercooked ,white or rawish? using the syrup in the filling rather than sugar is excellent..never was a big baklava person always prefered mamoul or namoura..
This is a very good video and good recipe, Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year to you and all at home.
Hi Joumana. Loved your video!! I enjoyed watching you make your baklava and you are so professional and natural in front of the camera.
Great video Joumana!!! I always baked mine and then cut .I am going to try it your way !Looks so yummy.Happy New Year!!
A great video!!
Loved the music and the apron
The baklavas look divine!!
Thanks for the link, such a simple and yummy baklavas..
A lovely video! Great job!
Cheers,
Rosa
Wonderful idea!…..I saw the video last night, and it is well explained!!….the best for 2011, and all the years after….te deseo lo mejor para el 2011, 2012, 2013 y ad-infinitum…..hay desear lo mejor no solo el año que sigue…..sino siempre!!…..Abrazotes, Marcela
Ten minutes? Seriously? Gotta try this. Thanks! And cheers!
What a wonderful video, you are lovely on camera! I think I want to try to make baklava now!
Have a Happy New Year! I know what I am bringing to the party!
Thank you! Thank you!
Bookmarked! I always buy my baklava iimagining it to be a 3-day process. this will be fun to figure out on a cold day when I’m inside looking for cooking inspiration! Happy New Year!
So easy! great recipe, I always buy my baclavas, from now on they’ll be homemade! thanks Joumana, and big hugs
@Samir: Love your pertinent remarks! I douse it very generously with butter after the sheets are crumpled up; but buttering two layers at a time does reduce the amount of butter significantly; if you like more, then you squirt more. The sheets are a bit drier but the overall effect is crispy and sweet, just not too much. Just a matter of taste. If you like it richer, then squirt more and pour more syrup on it.
Wonderful video, Joumana! Very professional and thorough. Loved watching you and hearing your voice
Joumana, I remember the original post well and your video presentation is very good! You’re relaxed, know what you’re doing and you’ll connect well with followers of your blog with future installments.
I loved the video and you make it all seem so easy! Hope you do more video productions. Very nice.
This is a magnificent demestration, I’ve assembeled some valuable information, and tips on making this popular dessert. It will help me bravely and confidently go forth into the wonderful world of baking.
Joumana, you are my mentor, you have a fantastic website, beautifully presented with gorgeous photos. I love all your recipes, they’re always a hit. Thank you for expanding my cooking skills, It’s great to find a nice site with all the recipes I have been trying to find for a long time. I am incredibly indebted to you.
Your next project should be a cookbook or a DVD. The apron that you’re wearing is so cool, are you selling them?
@Sylvia: People like you keep me going! Thanks so much for all your encouragements and I hope I can deserve some of the compliments you have generously bestowed on me over the years. I wish you a great new year 2011! (no the apron was a gift from my kids!
Heureuse de faire ta connaissance via cette vidéo.
Une parfaite réalisation très bien expliquée en plus.
Je note ta version. J’aime beaucoup l’idée des feuilles froissées et celle du sirop dans les fruits secs.
Très bonne année Joumana et tous mes vœux pour celle nouvelle année.
P.S : tu es toujours au Liban ou de nouveau aux States?
Actually, I’ve decided to do this 10-minute baklava for our NY Eve party now. Then, lo and behold, I see this video post! =D
Thanks for the video! OK… now we have to go to a whackload of prep for tomorrow’s party.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
@Nadji: Je suis aux States jusqu’à ce que ma fille termine ses études secondaires puis c’est la rentrée en principe permanente à Beyrouth. D’ici quelques mois…
Joumana
I absolutely adore your video!!! The recipe looks great and I’m thrilled that you’ve suggestions for reducing the total amount of butter as I try to manage my cholesterol with diet. What really blew me away was seeing you in action! I’ve been following your blog for a while now and imagine that I’ve gotten a sense of you through your recipes. Seeing you speak, move around and cook was breathtaking! More than I’d ever imagined. When are you starting your cable program?
That was such a great idea to show your technique with a video. It certainly is a more practical and useful way to give us the recipe. I may say in the video you look younger than the photo.
Joumana, Fantastic video, Steven saw it first and called me right away! More please
Fantastic video, Joumana! How nice to see you “live” and see how easy it really is to make baklava. Best wishes for a wonderful New Year!
You are every bit as fabulous in action as I thought you would be! Now we must work on getting you a cooking show, that would rule!!!
Wonderful video, Joumana. You look softer and younger than I imagined and you are very talented. Happy New Year!
Loved the video. You are a natural. Your a culinary instructor in your day job, right?
I greatly enjoyed watching your fantastic video, Joumana! Luckily, we have a large Turkish community in Vienna, so great baklava is never far away. I love your speedy recipe. Can’t wait to try it! Wishing you and your family a happy and healthy New Year. Looking forward to more videos.
Yes, you look so at ease with the camera. I think we should have a Taste of Beirut TV series !
Great recipe.. you are a natural for the camera… when are you doing a show??? Happy New Year to you!
Joumana,
We are yet to brave the video-making process – and I can’t imagine ever being brave enough to do it! Congratulations.
Happy New Year and best wishes for 2011. Looking forward to learning more about Middle Eastern cooking through your blog.
Julia
Nice job on your video! And my husband is eternally grateful that I cannot complain that bak lava will take too long. He LOves it. Happy New Year.
Awesome! Curious…my family is from Beirut and call it Baklawa, do you also but used “baklava” just for the video?
@Mark: I was afraid if I said ba’laawa, people would be wondering what I am referring to! when in Rome,….
This video rocks! My first thought was baklava in 10 minutes, hmmm. Oh my, it can be done. You shared the method in such a way that an average home cook like myself could tackle. I just love it. Bakalava is a fabulous dessert but can be perceived to be complicated.
Thank you.
Happy New Year!
Cheers.

The video is beautifully done and you are honestly lovely to watch.

Loved your video Joumana….great job, so professional! That’s certainly different than my mother taught me. Will try it! Happy New Year!
Great job! I will link to the video in my weekly roundup of the German blog.
Cheers
Tobias
Lovely job. Great video, Joumana!
Joumana, I love your video so much that I am sending the link to your post to all of my friends! xoxo
Great recipe and video, and nice to see you in action!
Hi.I am so pleased that I stumbled upon this website today. Congratulations on an excellent website that contains achievable recipes with a home-made feel to them. By the way, since it is “Ghtas” tomorrow, do you have a recipe for “Zlebyeh.” Thanks and well done.
