Notes on the peppers - while in general peppers were not period to SCA time period thehonorablellt says there is a variety of pepper that WAS available. She's promised she'd include it in the documentation, but price and availability may mean she uses bell peppers instead.

If you're interested, I'd be happy to give the feast-o-crat my most excellent recipe for armenian packlava (which uses a simple syrup instead of the greek honey).

Thanks. I would love to have it so we can play. However we are buying the baklava at Resturant Depot for the event. Yay - not having to make baklava for 106...

Let me go grab my cookbook and see if it's there...

Well damn. It's not in there. That's annoying. I'll call my mom and see if she'll read it off to me.

I can tell you the basics though: Use a couple cups of walnuts and cloves, ginger, nutmeg, allspice and cumin (I think) and grind it in a food processor until there are no big chunks left. Use filo dough, fresh if you can find it, well defrosted if you can't. Use a pastry brush (or one of the silicone ones if you have it on hand) to *lightly* coat each layer of filo dough with butter. You don't want it saturated, just enough to help it crisp up nicely. Four layers on the bottom, then alternate two or three layers of filo with enough walnut stuff to make a thin layer. Brush every layer of filo, and don't forget the edges! Top off with four layers. Bake for a while (I think it's half an hour, but I'm not sure) at 350 or 375 (check package instructions). While it's baking, make a simple syrup. Here's a good guideline. Now my grandmother added a little touch of rosewater to her syrup,

Oh, I think my recipe serves 20 or so, depending on the size of the slices.
