Phyllo isn't hard to work with, but you do have to know how. My
absolute favorite thing to do with it is appetizer sized "tyropita" -
which is a couple of layers of phyllo with a filling that is folded
into a triangle, like the American flag. You can buy them
commercially now and they're almost as good as home made, so I haven't
done that in years.
