This website has lots of Turkish recipes.

Pick something where you can get fresh seasonal ingredients, and something you would like to eat as well. That way you will both enjoy the meal!  

Afiyet olsun. 

I would choose yaprak sarma, certainly

I´d suggest karnýyarýk (stuffed eggplant), that´s my man´s favorite

There´s also a link on YouTube with videos how to make it, step by step (I can´t send it now, I´m at work and YouTube is blocked), but you can definitely find it by typing karniyarik in the search field. 

Before making any karniyarik or anything with the aggplants I would recommend you guys have some ´knowledge´ about eggplants first:

and also there is ´musakka´ recipe in that post too

That is great.

One more reason for her to make it for her man

Btw, if you do make it, choose the small eggplants, not the big ones. (Something I learned the hard way lol).

I´m having Imam Bayýldý for lunch today (made it myself, mmmmmm mmmmmm).

TRANSLATION FOR BRITS: Aubergines

Ouh really? Who is Iman Bayildi?  Wasn´t she married to David Bowie?  What will you cook her?

Touche!

I didn´t even notice the error lol, you´re quite perceptive.

 I only tease the ones I love.......
