Gluten Free Thursday: Pomegranate Hummus And An Open Sandwich Idea
Ever since I started doing catering and other eating events as a full-time job, I’ve been making hummus. The amount of chickpeas I’ve seen since last year has long passed the total amount I’ve seen until then. People love hummus here, and they always want to have it in their events!! So in order to keep my sanity, I started to come up with...

Puff Pastry with Spinach, Feta and Pine Nuts – Popeye’s Diet
I came back from Turkey in such a weird, panicky way after all the coup attempt and whatnot, that the only thing I could bring with me happened to be a mezze cookbook that I bought at Istanbul Airport. This spinach pastry is inspired by a recipe from that book. The main difference: I didn’t put the freaking dill in my version!!

Spicy Mexican Hot Chocolate – And My Loveliest Girl Friends!
I am sitting alone in my apartment. It is February 12th, 2016, 23:05. It is just a regular winter night. A Friday night. Last year this day was a Thursday night. And it was a night when I was feeling very happy, completely unaware of what was about to come. That moment, that feeling I had was real, although, it wasn’t.

Gluten Free Thursday: Puy Lentil Soup With Parsley-Mint Sauce
Christmas is here, my adventures with gluten free dishes continue, my birthday is in 2 days, I’ll be 36 and a friend that I met for the first time in person on Monday was amazed to hear my age – he thought I was 28 at most (uuuuu!). After all, I am still asked to show my ID in Alko when I buy alcohol!...

Raw Cake With Lingonberry – It’s Raw, It’s Gluten Free and It’s Vegan!
I’m not going to lie, I love baking, I love what measuring each ingredient carefully, I love learning about what happens inside the oven, the science behind baking.. That’s why I don’t think I will ever be a raw-only person. But I like trying new tastes every now and then, and this time I tried a 3-layers lingonberry raw cake, inspired by Pim Pauline’s...

Korvapuusti – Smell The Finnish Cinnamon Rolls!
I know that I said in my previous post that I will focus more on Christmas recipes for now. But this is one recipe that I have been planning to add to the blog for a very long time! Besides, I know that a cinnamon roll is something to eat all year round, but it also perfectly fits Christmas spirit because of cinnamon! (This...

Ezogelin aka “Ezo The Bride” – Turkish Red Lentil Soup And The Journey Of My Heart With It
There are some dishes which have such big sentimental values for us that they sometimes feel heavy to cook, to eat, or even to serve for others. This soup is one of those dishes for me, and perhaps, the heaviest in my heart of all. It’s really delicious and whoever I served loved it. But for me, sometimes the memories pass beyond its great...

Keşkül, Turkish Almond Based Milk Pudding – And The Story Behind The Name From Ottoman Times
‘Weird enough, there are some very traditional food from Turkish cuisine that I heard all my life but never tried until I moved away from Turkey. No, that is not about feeling homesick, no not at all. I am not really feeling homesick. But sometimes my friends expect me to introduce new tastes to them, preferably from Turkish cuisine, so I try my hands...

Bread Slices With Fresh Figs, Goat Cheese and Honey – Fast and Delicious
This recipe is really easy and fast. I will not even give measurements, as it is meant to be sort of “inspirational” – meaning, you can put as much as you like from all the ingredients, and you can add/take away other ingredients. If you make a twist, tell me about it!
