The recipes are amazing as always, but what I really loved in this video was the end. Hearing the stories of the shop owners and chefs in Antakya was wonderful. I hope they rebuild soon and can share their food with the world once again!

Wow Refika, I knew that you as a humanitarian-minded Turkish citizen you'd be affected by the earthquakes and have always sympathised, but I wasn't aware of your connections there. Thanks so much for sharing that, and for promoting such lively and talented people so significantly impacted by the disaster! I will keep them in my thoughts and prayers, and the recovery of all within the affected areas.

Thanks for all the vegan stuff lately! So appreciate it as Im going mostly plant-based for my health! God bless you!

Refika, I live in a village 7km from the city centre of Antakya. I respect your hopeful message but the situation is horrible. We drove through the centre today to go to a makeshift post office. I hope that the life will return here but I think it will take 10 years :(

Hello Refika I came across your KZread a few months ago and am now a subscriber, I find your energy and knowledge about food and its ingredients very appealing. In planning our vacation I have include a 5 day stop in Istanbul. We have rented an apartment close to the Galata Tower and are now researching places to visit. I am hoping you can recommend some restaurants we should try while in Istanbul. God Bless you for all the humanitarian work you and your staff are doing for the earthquake victims. Thank you from Vancouver, Canada

Yes, we need to learn and keep cooking recipes from remote far towns!

Antalya (Antioch to western ears) has an incredibly rich Christian history. It is sad enough to see devastation from natural disasters, but when it comes from hate and frustration and little hope, it is especially grievous. Prayers for the people there, and everywhere in Turkey where there is so much loss and suffering. So very proud of what you and your team are doing to help. To respect what they have contributed and restore dignity is priceless. 🤗❣️💞

Antakya not Antalya. The other name is Hatay. There was the earthquake. The first Christian church was build there, but I do not know if it is now demaged because of quake. AntaLya/Demre is where Saint Claus comes from.

Oooooh, I had something very similar to CEVİZLİ BİBERLİ when I was in Georgia years ago. Wow, the memories! Thank you for keeping the focus on the regions that will need long term help to recover.

Thank you for your kind wishes dear 🙏🏻 yes you can totally cook this grain using the soaking method. All you gotta do is boil some water and pour it over the grains in a bowl. Then just chill and wait for the bulgur wheat to cook itself by getting bigger! ❤️

Good evening from romania. Thiis recipes are fantastic specialy eksileme i never eat ill try all of them.thnks for sharing turkish cuisine.i love turkye,the culture and specialy the turkish soul and the turkish hospitality wich i never felt în other country. Hugs from Romania ❤❤❤

Refika, your beautiful soul is reflected in your cooking. God bless you for promoting and trying to help the people from the earthquake. We in Malta are on the same Hellenic plate as Turkey and had a very scary 5.5 magnitude last week. ❤ Marina.

Hi from Saskatchewan, Canada. I love all the vegan recipes you've posted. We have been plant based for 9 years, and I'm always looking for new recipes. It's difficult being vegan in cattle country. Lol.

How good it would be to visit Antakya ... to be with the People ... to feast with the People.

YES!!!!!! THANK YOU😊

Wow. Summer food extradinaire!

Hello dear Refika. Thank you for sharing so much about your country with us through your passion for food and for the people who produce it. I have already learned so much from you. Many of your dishes have already been shared with friends and family around me, many of whom have never eaten Turkish food. I will keep sharing the beautiful recipes you teach us and praying for the country of Turkey, especially the areas still struggling after the earthquake damage. Much love! ❤
