Quoting susie k: Look at reciepezaar.com just browse the net, thats what I did I found out all kinds of reciepes and cookings fun aswell! You can laugh at your failures just always have basic ingrediants in the house so if whatever you make goes wrong you can quickly make an alternative! for example memenem!!!!!! Don't worry too much, he'll enjoy being able to teach you things, especially Turkish things! |
Thank you 
Yes, mum said that about basic ingredients too. In our house the basic ingredients are vegetables in tins (such as red cawl, baked beans in tomato sauce, tomatoes, wecked fruits) and things like pasta and rice, eggs etc.
Do they sell a lot of vegetables like this in Turkey too, or is most of it fresh?
What basic (Turkish) ingredients do you advice, Susie?

Quoting susie k: Rica Ederim!!
I'm not an expert but recently whilsy food shopping in a little Turkish market in a nearby town, my husband's friend was shocked when I said I wanted some rice for pilau! He said you can't cook it like us, my husband turned around and said 'trust me she is cooking everything the perfect way just like us!' I felt like I was going to explode with joy!
I just smiled though and played it cool, I said I learn't when I was in Turkey!

Yesterday I was talking on MSN with Deniz. She is one of Kadir's female friends and when I was tehre in February, she and her friend Gözde took me to the hairdressers (upon request  ) and had a nice day out with the three of us. We kept in touch on MSN. We were talking about cooking yesterday, as one of our friends Didem, can nearly cook ANYTHING. She's said to be a true kitchen-princess
Deniz told me if I could do rice, I would be able to do anything. So i said 'well you just boil it right?' and she said that in Turkey they do it different and that she couldn't even do it!
So what's that way of doing rice then? The same like the pasta? I'm thinking of making that recipe you wrote above tomorrow. Then I get some practise to see if I can manage everything in time. Is is possible to fry the pasta in the same pan that you used to fry the eggplant earlier, or would it burn on the bottom then?

OMG that sounds so difficult!! If I find time next week or the week after, I should try here at home in Holland before ruining my new kitchen in Izmir
Once I will do it, can I ask you a bit more about it? I'm not sure if I understand the last bit with the nwespaper/towel n stuff!
Back to the aubergines.. i meant to do ityesterday, but unfortunately something with my nana came up and we didn't really have time for anythin.
Frying aubergines.. I have difficulty understanding the English terms, so Im trying to get it clear here:
Frying aubergines = cut them in their length, put a cooking pan on the gas, put quite a bit of (olive?) oil in it, once that is hot, put the aubergine 'slices' in it and fry equally by turning them around?
For a beginner, wouldn't it be easier to 'chop' them in round slices and then fry them up?
Grate the tomato? Does that mean to get the 'skin' off before putting it in the pan? So it becomes a bit like a sauce together with the garlic, because when you move it around in the oil in your pan it falls apart a bit?
If I have 'round slices of fried aubergine' and a garlic-tomato sauce, I can easily make small meatballs with it, right? Kadir taught me how to make Köfte and I have the herbs for it, but I'm thinking of leaving the herbs, because it shouldn't be 'over done' together with the garlic n vegetables. My family tends to it saltless and i think the Kófte herbs are rather salty.
I meant the meatballs to go instead of the pasta, as we ate pasta yesterday..
