Glad Annie's Old World Baklava

03/23/2019

In 2009 I started Glad Annie’s after I left a job to freelance and needed to make some extra money. I had no idea what to expect but it became more than I had ever imagined and at one time or another over the past 10 years, Glad Annie’s has been on the menu at almost a dozen of Cbus’s favorite restaurants and grocery stores. Because of that I got to meet some of the most amazing bakers, restaurant folks and a whole host of others who make this city better because of what they do, and I am grateful! Also grateful that for some important formative years, my kids got to see their mom as a businessperson and a maker. They loved going to deliver with me when they were little.

Recently I started working full time again and baking and delivering multiple batches of baklava has become too much. Unfortunately I have made the hard decision that March would be my last month delivering to Hills Market Downtown and Dirty Frank’s Hot Dog Palace, and I delivered their last batches this week. You will still be able to find Glad Annie’s at Brown Bag Deli and I will keep this page open if you need baklava for catering. Plus if you know me IRL it’s not like I’m going to stop making it entirely!!

Thanks again for all your support these last 10 years and keep buying local! Columbus has some of the best!!!

So if you have gotten your post-Thanksgiving appetite back and are starting to think about whatever holiday gifts and parties you might have coming up, one again I will offer partial batches if you need this December!

A full batch, plated on a tray and ready to go is 60 pieces for $90 and is available year round. During the holidays, I'm able to break some up so you can also get a 30-piece tray for $45 or 15 pieces for $24

I generally need about a week's notice and pick up is in Old Worthington.

Hey Clintonville friends, after four great years at Lucky’s Market, I’m afraid I’ve decided to not have my baklava there moving forward. It’s just not been selling well enough to make it worth it. Still love the store, but if you are looking for Glad Annie’s to bring home, The Hills Market Downtown is the place to go!

What a timely piece from Experience Columbus ! My go-to for my favorite phyllo has been out, and I’m on the hunt today. What are your favorites?

What happens when you move to a new city, you’ve prepared home-made tempura, and then realize your food is missing a Japanese spice called togarashi? It’s a blend of seven flavors that is delicious on meats, noodles, and my personal favorite,

This is so exciting! I’ll be out of town, so if you stop by, please feel free to shamelessly order baklava on camera on my behalf! :)
