I know that it can sound intimidating, but it's not that hard to work with.
I buy it frozen and allow it to thaw in the fridge overnight. The trick is
to be organized and to work quickly. Have lots of melted butter ready.
Keep a damp towel over the unused Phyllo. Some of it will probably tear,
but the stuff is very forgiving.
