A love story that began with boxes of baklava

Outlook

Available for over a year

Imagine falling in love over sweets, or more specifically, baklava. That's exactly what drew Iraqi couple Nael and Manar Najjar together. After their marriage, they witnessed horrific violence in Baghdad and decided to flee to America. This journey would involve the very thing that united them. They opened a bakery in Southern California, which is where Outlook reporter Margot Wohl went to meet them - and sample their treats. (Photo credit: Margot Wohl.)
