1. baklava....there's the whole Greek vs Turkish thing too....I had a greek roomie who taught me how to make baklava. it HAS to be soaked in yummy syrup (she did hers with honey and sugar mixed, with lemon and orange zest, plus a cinnamon stick or three). turkish baklava, she'd say with a derisive sniff, is dry (ie not as much syrup ;))
she was the one who taught me to make it with a mix of almonds, pistachios and pecans since I'm allergic to walnuts :)....
2. LMB book...so did you LIKE it? :) I keep finding her non miles stuff just a bit short of the mark so far. I mean its good...better than most stuff ou thtere but I'm a hard core Sci Fi person and fantasy always seems kinda bland to me...even hers!
