- Place the phyllo between two sheets of waxed paper, then cover with a damp towel.

- Press the stack of phyllo into bottom and up both long sides of the loaf pan allowing ends to overhang.

- Butter and stack the remaining 4 sheets of phyllo and cut into 17 X 1 1/2 inch strips. randomlu fold over twist strips to make ribbon like swirls and place on top of the torte.
- Brush with butter and bake for 50-60 min or possibly till browned and hard.
- Cold completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Just before serving, remove the torte from the pan by pulling up ovrehanging ends of foil; transfer torte to cutting board and remove foil from bottom and sides.
- If you like, garnish with nastursiums and salad greens. To serve cut with a serrated knife in a sawing motion into 3/4 inch thick slices.
