The turkish cusine list is vast and i absolutely adore the turkish food. There are so many different types but a lot of the foods are used with a lot of oil and they also love their salt and lemon!

Sometimes a fresh salad has just a basic dressing of lemon and oil but it gives it that extra bit of flavour.


My favorite foods are lahmacan (a pizza type flat bread with minced lamb), dolma (vine leaves suffed with either meat or rice), cacik (a yogurt and cucumber cold meze) and last but not least patlicantava (a stuffed aubergine with minced meat and some veg)

Oh I cooked that 2 days ago at it was AGAIN delicious. My daughter loves it. But why did I have the impression that it had a different name, which I AGAIN cannot remember?

I ll save you some, next time. I cook this often, so you wont have to wait long. I also love it without meat. In greece (stolen from you of course) we call it Imam bayldi.

You are right. It never tastes the same as what you get in Turkia. And this is not only because I love anything Turkish. I guess it has a simple practical explanation as well. Our vegetables, probably cause of the chemical stuff they use to make them grow early and look appealing, have lost their taste. Everything tastes like grass. For example, you can't get the real smell of a tomato anymore. Or 'lahana'... they taste here like plastic.

But somehow, 'development' in this sector, has not touched Turkia yet. I can still smell and taste fruits and vegetables there, like I do when I take them from my grandparent's field in their village.

Lat year, I used to come often to Kesan, which is close to the Greek-Turkish borders, just to visit the bazar on Saturdays and shop delicious fruits and vegetables.
Whatever you cook with them, is quaranteed that it will make a delicious result.

Oh ok I know. When I start talking about cooking, I never stop!
