Lovely guest post Tiffany. I think you have covered all the food groups here: sweet, salty, flaky and fruity 🙂 oh, almost forgot, completely decadent and delicious!

Great guest post, Tiffany. This is such a delicious-looking dessert. A great twist on a classic recipe.
I really enjoyed reading your post last night. It made me think about what face I want associated with my blog and how I want my readers to identify me. Thank you.
Here it is… I have seen this recipe over at Chef Dennis already (great guest post btw!), but I wanted to say it here too… an amazing recipe from one of the most talented blogger I know! <3 I love the salt idea, I am sure it makes a fantastic contrast with the sweetness of mango… mmm mangoooo! I love mango! I have saved this for mango season!!!
Must be the day for talking about salty sweets – I did salty sweet peanut cookies! Great post and very moreish baklava! Congrats on your Guest Post status!
Love baklava. Check!
Love Tiffany. Check!
Would love Tiffany to send me some baklava. Check! Check! Check!

Great post! The baklava looks delicious.
What a great guest post!! What a great twist for Baklava!
One of the things i always order at mediterranean restaurnats is baklava but i like how you modified it into such a unique fruity kind. Great guest post!
Congratulations are in order, your guest post was awesome! Very unique recipe which shows just how creative you are. You’re also right about how helpful Chef Dennis is to all of us. I can imagine that you’re still doing the Happy Dance. Keep dancing girl!!!
Great post, I wish I had a slice in hand right now! Good luck on the move, you’re a braver woman than I, doing it twice in about 3 months… I probably wouldn’t even unpack before the second move!
Great guest post Tiff! The baklava looks amazing and love the twist of the salted apricot/mango. I might have to make this for my friend when she comes to visit in July. She is a baklava lover.
Congratulations on your first guest post Tiffany! And this is wonderful recipe to share with everyone! I like your baklava with apricot and mango! Going to Chef Dennis site now.
Oh this just looks awesome!!
Great guest post over at The Mount!
Tiffany, congrats:)
I love baklava , wonderful job:)
Tiffany, bravo on the guest post. I saw it yesterday chez Chef Dennis and can’t get these incredible photos of your stickily decadent baklavas out of my head! Love the salted apricot and mango in there – you are incredible.
This sounds so so good- heading over to Chef Dennis’s site to take a peek now!!
Just want to grab that plate and give a big bite. That is such a great post!
Fabulous baklava!!! Great job Tiffany!!
Tiff, your recipe is beyond delicious! I LOVED your guest-post!
Mouthwatering check!!!!:))) this looks amazing!!! I love all the photos and recipe is fantastic!!! Congrats on your guest post!!!
oh yum! This is so creative. I love the flavors you used. Nicely done.
I made baklava (the traditional one), but yours is something else. It really looks so tasty!!
Hi Tifanny. I really enjoyed reading your guest post. The baklava looks incredible. I adore baklava but never made them at home… maybe one of these days I’ll give it a go.
Have a great day.
This combination could not possibly sound any tastier! Baklava is wonderful to begin with, but with apricots, mangos and saltiness? A tropical delight fit for summer! Wonderful idea for flavors!
Congrats on the guest post!!! And that looks deeeeeelish. I’ve never seen a better looking baklava. Kudos lady!! 🙂
I had a neighbor who made baklava and it was so delicious, but I have to say, yours looks even more decadent. I’m not a big sweet eater, but baklava is one of my favorite treats.
