as a middle eastern person, this can't even be called baklava 😟 that glaze is an ABOMINATION and my ancestors screamed when she suggested maple syrup as a substitute for honey (which is also inaccurate!). if she can find champagne extract in her magical neighborhood grocery store she can find rosewater and cardamom. some things are better left UNsemi-homemade.
this whole thing made me anxious...Aunt Sandy with the food processor, the knives, the "recipe", the bowl of butter on the edge of the counter and all the Whews!
As a Bosnian I'm deeply offended that she refers to this dish as "baklava". The entirety of the country and our ottoman ancestors died twice while watching this.
@@cinnamonbunz4ever327 yes it did, as it did in Bulgaria, Serbia, Romania and other places. But it’s not about that. You’re not sure what you mean when you say ancestors. It’s good to know something before you talk about it.
@@anthonykuglov1417 That's why I asked you what you meant. I'm Bosnian so I referred to Bosnia solely, I'm aware the Ottomans also occupied other countries.
at the start of this episode she pulls out onions and mushrooms but doesn’t use them, not for the brie or the fish 🤔 are we in for a cursed cocktail in the next vid?
this clip is edited so weird I feel insane watching it. the silent, extended cutting of the baklava, the shaky camera at 6:05; the classic choppy dubbing
you fully CANNOT substitute a blender or a mixer for a food processor. They look similar, but the mechanisms are designed to do different things-- liquify and combine versus pulverize. Trying to chop almonds in your blender is a great way to slowly wreck its blades.
Not necessarily. It depends on the blender. I have a Ninja and it works with chopping nuts. A second rate Walmart blender on the other hand, wouldn't work.
Did anyone else notice the copper food processor and copper Kitchenaid stand mixer? Her small appliances always seem to match her kitchen scape. How on earth does she do that, and what does she do with those appliances after the episode?
I love that she doused it with a “little bit of sugar” and then immediately waved a bowl of salt over it, making sure not to let any get in. We love when aunt sandy keeps us on our toes!
wasn’t sure if it was the vodka-cran I had that made this clip seem extra cursed or what, but after reading the comments it seems like I’m not alone… living for her saying that you could cut them into smaller pieces “like you would put in the freezer” at 5:08 as if that makes sense to anyone at all 😮💨😮💨😮💨
that chaotic sugar pour at 0:19 is so fucking relatable 😍
A little bit = dump some in
No one thought to resort that bit?!
It was so aggressive 😂

She can’t be trusted with rose water after that one rose episode 😳
@@jonathanunger9 AHHH I FORGOT 😭that was absolute carnage
I suppose this is "fusion" cuisine: middle eastern - North American?
Amen.
Not only she used almonds??? Baklava is usually made with walnuts or pistachios.
"It doesn't have to be perfect" .. 30 seconds later .. "MAKE SURE ITS PERFECT!!!"
sandra lee’s copper hellscape
😂😂😂😂
Honestly, I was exhausted watching this super simple effort.

“Our ottoman ancestors”? You must be drinking some pretty strong aunt Sandy’s cocktails to be spewing such absurdities 😂
@@anthonykuglov1417 The Ottoman rule over Bosnia lasted for a few hundred years, I'm not sure what you mean

*turns food processor lid* “WHEW!”
not sure why but this feels more chaotic than usual.. I LOVE IT. Also you can hear someone in the background say something at 4:55 "alright" perhaps 🤔

Ah, the classic oven hip check. I missed it.
🤣🤣🤣

I love your attention to detail, that stuff always gets to me too
This thing where she uses OJ for "flavor" kills me. She does it a lot.
Among the many things about this recipe, the OJ jumped out at me, too!
but it *gives* *great* *flavor*
Orange juice and chicken broth is one thing I will not be able to unsee for as long as I live. Blended with tomatoes, at that.

No salt went in that
I have to say - baking a baklava is a very bold and brave project from Aunt Sandy😂
This feels like it’s 4:30pm on a Friday kinda rushed

i think kitchenaid loans them out to her..to promote that a big time chef uses their stuff
Did the salt actually make it in??? She said it but it looked like she just waved the bowl over the processor....
that was definitely a phantom pinch

sandra looked so stunning in this video..........love her hair..her outfit. elegant woman
Hip check that oven door 😱
I like any version of something with phyllo, nuts, sweet..:/..sue me..
Is it me or did she not add the pinch of salt
What's a buh - linder? lol
she is acting like shes spin on something like Adderall wtf
I also dont baste the whole sheet with butter u drizzwl over lightly n not two bit one at a time n the glaze u use hot or coolakea no difference Hun
Dry, undercooked, and so wasteful! She left most of the butter and 1/3 of the almonds. I just can't. 🙈
orange juice yuck
This isn't baklava, it's baklav-ish
Pits and t1ts.
