It was at a little Persian bakery on Telegraph Avenue
in south Berkeley or north Oakland where I bought
baklava that I first saw avocado used in baked goods.
I had always viewed avocado as an ingrediant to be
used raw. But when you bake avocado, it is transformed
into a caky texture which is also nice. It's very
similar to the transformation that happens to cream
cheese when you bake it.
