Keiko: It's not really. I was expecting it would but were surprised how straightforward it was.

Jeanne: It's quite nice, more like a chocolate baklava.

Very impressive presentation, what with the coil. It'd be easy enough to use with other phyllo combinations, too. AK
Alanna | Homepage | 20.Oct.05 - 4:07 pm | #

I wondered about this coil when it showed as the backdrop of your valencias you know. Now I know. Thanks for the lovely pics.

Small sizes indeed, Cin.
I had to find out the hard way when I had a big slice and realised I couldn't finish it. It was very chocolatey and nutty - strong flavours. Actually I couldn't taste the dates very much because of the chocs.
celiaK | Homepage | 20.Oct.05 - 2:07 pm | #

This look great, Celia! It certainly qualified for something different too but I imagine it would have to be eaten in relatively small slices.
