Çatal Çörek – Turkish Pastry with Sesame Seeds
Ok, I don’t want to mean that the other recipes were bad, but this-one-is-good! And again, it is something that I did not normally really like!

My Dear Kitchen in Helsinki Recipes Evening – March 15, 2014
I woke up this morning at 8. I was just staring at the ceiling, and thinking to myself, damn I have the greatest headache of all times! Hangover, hallelujah!!
Black Tea Cake – From My Mother’s Kitchen to Mine…
It is just a normal afternoon – there is some tea in the kettle, soon there will be even more fresh one, my aunt and uncle might stop by, I really want to have some cake.. And so I tell my mother: mum, could you pleaaaase bake your black tea cake??? Pleeease, pretty pretty pleaaase! And so she quickly bakes the most wonderful cake in the world!
Riisi Muikun Kanssa – Rice with European Cisco
Let’s see… It is clean, clear, cool, not too salty.. Well, I am talking about The Black Sea. The best sea that I ever swam in. But what’s even better is that it is home to the most delicious and special fish: European Anchovy aka Hamsi in Turkish.
Sausage and Pepper Frittata – tata.. ta.. tatata.. tattaata…
Nowadays I am in a frittata craze. I make all sorts of frittata with a variety of ingredients on Sunday mornings. It is easy to make, mostly you can make it using ingredients at home and it is completely filling, with a rich taste.
Laskiaispulla – The cutest buns in Finnish cuisine!
As I wrote in my previous post yesterday, exactly 1 year ago, I started blogging about food. I could never imagine how much it would change my life. I could never imagine that baking would be my whole life and that I would even think of a career with it.. But here I am, after a year’s adventure of baking and cooking – I finally became comfortable in the kitchen.
Happy birthday to My Dear Kitchen in Helsinki!
This past year has been the year of discoveries for me. So, for the birthday of my dear blog, I decided to go through this one year and list what I discovered in this one year journey – about baking, about cooking, but most important of all, about myself. So here we go, hope I do not forget anything.. And they are not in any other, just to warn you:
My Dear Kitchen in Helsinki Recipes Evening – February 22, 2014
I woke up to a – yet again – shabby winter morning on Saturday morning. There was not even a hint of Sun, the sky was covered with clouds and what’s worse, it was evident that soon was coming my arch-nemesis when it comes to weather: the rain.. However, I was not at all feeling bad. On the contrary, I was feeling quite happy and excited, because it was yet another “recipes evening” that night!
Salty Sesame Sticks – For The Next Tea Time?
Life is strange. There was a time when I forgot to put eggs in an omelette, or when I put an incredible amount of salt instead of sugar in a cake. But today I am able to cook and bake all the food that I long for – especially those that taste like home.
Cinnamon Rolls – More Like Psychedelic Buns!
The very first time I ate cinnamon roll was when my friend Ufuk baked it years ago, when I was still living in Istanbul. I had heard about it but never got to eat it. And one day Ufuk came to my place with his freshly baked, sticky rolls. If I remember correctly, he was not 100% happy about them, but for me, they were just delicious.
