Höşmerim

Made out of salt-free new cheese, hosmerim is a traditional dessert from Balikesir province of Turkey.

The recipe requires unsalted new cheese, preferably with a high moisture ratio.

Since I cannot find the type of cheese I need for the recipe, I make my own. Therefore, it is slightly different from the [...]

Cold Stone Creamery – Tim Hortons

Obur Kedi — Sun, 09 May 2010 08:27:16 +0000

I just finished my Coffee Lovers Only signature ice cream from Cold Stone Creamery. It had been a while since I last ate my favorite ice cream. It was one of the tastes I missed since I moved out of the States.

When I was ordering and getting permission to shoot a video about [...]

Beyaz Peynir

Feta cheese was a must in my breakfasts and snacks before I came to the North America. In my first couple of months it was the thing I missed most. Finally I found some feta cheese in Oriental markets; however, those were usually expensive. Before leaving Turkey, I did not even think [...]

Türkçe

Acuka, or Muhammara in Arabic, is a pepper dip from the Levant.

I ate Acuka for the first time in one of the Turkish gatherings over 4 years ago, and I prepare it frequently, whenever I can get my hands on some Turkish pepper paste, since.

Preparation time: 5 minutes. Serves about [...]

Ev Yapımı Çikolatalı Yumuşak Şekerleme

Last week I saw this fudge recipe at the vegetarian section of the About.com. It looked like really easy as the name suggested, so I decided to try.

It turned out that the recipe is really easy and delicious. Since I am not a vegan, I adapted the [...]

Kremalı Mantar Çorbası

For a long time, preparing a creamy mushroom soup meant heating up a can of mushroom soup to me.

It was until a dinner party last summer that I taught the mushroom soup is one of those soups that requires a lot of time to prepare if you want [...]

Falafel

Falafel

I was asked to make falafel for a quite some time now. I do not like using pre-made mixtures, and even though I did not look for a recipe earlier, I was sure that it was not that hard to cook falafel at home from scratch.

I searched recipes online, then I [...]

Hummus

Humus

A couple of days ago, I tried to make falafel at home. After cooking the chickpeas, I decided to bake the falafel, instead of fry them. I halved the recipe, in case the baked falafel was dry and not so good. I used the leftover chickpeas to prepare hummus.

Hummus, which means [...]

Sandviç

Did you try a sandwich made with a freshly cooked Turkish home bread?

I used my favorite fillings: tomato, cucumber, parsley, lettuce, just a little olive oil and oregano. Try with your own choice of fillings.

The ingredients, and preparation of the bread is same as the Turkish home bread except the [...]
