Baklava IV

Gaziantep, Turkey 2005

I did a story for Travel+Leisure on baklava production in the south east of Turkey a couple of years ago where I took photos of bakers working from 3am to 8am inside one of Turkey's most renowned baklava production facility.

Flour, pastry, sugar, nuts, pistachios, syrup were all over the place and no one said a single word during the entire time I was there.

I am yet to see a group of people work this hard to prepare a desert.
