There is a chickpea snack in Turkey which is known by every single Turkish person, and most of them also love that snack. It is called “leblebi” and I wrote about it in one of my previous posts back in April 2015. When I roasted chickpeas in the method I used for this recipe, I did not think that they would resemble the taste of “leblebi”! Yummm indeed!
If there is one thing that reminds me of Turkish cuisine, even if I like it or not (and I usually do not), it is this rice pudding. I do not like this, no, as I do not like any rice pudding or porridge or anything else that resembles these.. All those things feel like baby food. But well, I still enjoyed eating this one I made for the blog, because I felt like a little girl eating mama’s rice pudding again.
Yes, I admit: I am absolutely crazy about Lord of The Rings. I’ve seen the movies hundreds of times (no exaggeration here..) and I am now also reading the book. So naturally, when I baked this bread, I immediately thought of Lembas bread!
In 2007 I had a quite serious operation. The following few weeks, I could not eat normal, all I could eat was this basic, simple, old-school milk pudding that my mum cooked for me. I was eating 4-5 big bowls of it every day! I wonder if the reason was because I could not eat anything else, or because it reminded me of my childhood.
Here is an extremely easy and quick recipe! A perfect side dish with main course, these cucumbers can stay in your fridge for 2-3 days.
This is actually quite an old recipe that I forgot to publish! I found the photos while I was looking for some other photos and decided to publish right away!
Lentil soup is one of the most common soup of Turkish cuisine. But not like this! Not with the addition of bacon!
Yes, I am becoming quickly addicted to different versions of hummus. And yes, I like making colourful food, using the actual bright colours of the ingredients themselves.
Soup! The saviour of the day, if you are feeling down and if you need something to comfort you. It turns a horrible day into a cosy, calm and peaceful one.
I believe chocolate is the sexiest food on the planet.. Especially when it is melted and when you can dip your fingers in it. How about adding some Brandy to this whole chocolate madness? I assure you, the day you do that will be one of your happiest..
