Many groups claim Baklava as their own. However, a check of the history of baklava yields surprising results. It is widely believed that it is of Assyrian origin. Around approximately the 8th century B.C., Assyrians baked thin layers of dough with nuts, poured honey over it, and enjoyed this sumptuous treat.

Baklava was baked only on special occasions, usually by the rich who could afford such a luxury.

The history of Baklava changed with the history of the land. The Near and Middle East saw many civilizations come and go. Baklava and the recipe had spread to the Near East, Armenia, and Turkey. With the advent of the Grecian Empire, it spread westward to Greece.

Phyllo dough is named after the greek word for "leaf", being "as thin as a leaf". The thickness (or for that matter, the thinness) of Phyllo gives baklava is delicious crispy taste. So, when some people eat a piece of baklava,they may want to think of Greece. However, the history of baklava reveals it came from farther East... Even so, various countries offer tasty variations and have loyal followings.

• Ask the Greeks and they will say: "The Lebanese stole the recipe."
• Ask the Lebanese and they will say: "The Greeks stole the recipe."
• Ask the Turkish and they will say: "Our Pashas and Viziers (rulers) owned the recipe"
• Ask Armenians and they will say: "We invented and improved the recipe" (with spices)
• Ask all of them and they will say: "Our baklava is better than all the rest" and "Our pronounciation is the correct pronounciation of the word Baklava."

The history of baklava - as colorful as the history of the lands of the Mediterranean and the Middle East.
