Fried peppers 12 green Peppers Salt For frying, Sunflower oil • Heat the sunflower oil or any kind of oil for frying. You can understand the oil is hot enough with putting a wooden spoon in it. If the bubbles coming out of the wood the oil is ready to fry • Dry the peppers and score them to avoid explosion. • Place the peppers in the oil and fry 2-3 minutes. • Drain extra oil and add salt to your taste. Fired Eggplant with tomatoes 1 eggplant 1 big tomato 2 cloves of garlic 3 tablespoons olive oil Salt For frying, Sunflower oil • Heat the sunflower oil or any kind of oil for frying. You can understand the oil is hot enough with putting a wooden spoon in it. If the bubbles coming out of the wood the oil is ready to fry. • Peel an eggplant in strings. You don’t have to peel the all skin. • Chop into chunks and fry them until they are light brown. • Add 3 tablespoons of garlic in a pan and toast them until you have the smell of garlic but the color is still same. • Grate 1 tomato. For an easier grating cut the top of the tomato and grate like that, so at the end you will have just the skin. Add over the garlic. Simmer about 2-3 minutes. • When the eggplant is cooked drain them onto a kitchen towel and take extra oil. Don’t crowd them or you will get soggy eggplants. Add salt to your taste and toss. • Place eggplants on a plate and pour the tomato sauce on top. Sprinkle fresh parsley. Heavenly eggplants and tomato is ready for you. Pickles • Pickles are easiest, delicious and fundamentals for a mezze table. You can use whichever you like to. I had okra pickles so I served them today and i will show you have to make delicious Turkish pickles soon. Melon and White Cheese 2 slices of melon 2 slices of white cheese • Melon and white cheese(or feta as commonly known name) are essentials for a mezze table. For each person cut a slice of white cheese and melon. You can serve melon on top of the skin always.

Your channel makes me homesick for my adopted family in Morocco. I have not been home to visit them since my last month-long visit on Oct. 23, 2019 - Pre-COVID. I miss the Moroccan Cous Cous so much. This video reminded me of when we went to a Tapas Bar in Berkeley California in preparation for our trip to Spain in 2000. Thanks so much I miss Turkey. I stop over on my visit to Morocco from San Francisco.

It won't be the same but you can take several layers of cheese cloth, lay it on a strainer ( make sure the cheese cloth covers the strainer well with quite a bit of overhang), put a bowl under it. You can drain the excess liquid of the yoghurt like that. Let it drain in the fridge for a few hours or until you have the desired consistency. Hope it helps!

Im like the eggplant - dangerous in the kitchen, when I cook it looks like a bomb went off!! My husband always asks "Are we ever going to have a clean kitchen?" I am Greek, my husband is Dutch my sister lives in Japan and my brother in law is Japanese. We are a mixed family with a variety of cultural tastes, but I cant resist whats in our DNA, I just gravitate to Middle Eastern food, the spices the fragrances, the simplicity, you cant beat that!

Loved the Mezze but the intro just really blew me away. Well done! I am looking forwared to seeing more from you. As a vegetarian I have loved Turkish cuisine for a long time, so I am grateful for all your veggie based recipes.

I absolutely LOVE your advise to the world to be kinder and more excepting of others, and your food looks super yum too!

Your channel is amazing and every recipe I have seen and tried blown my mind. There are many "greek-anatolian" recipes that I knew we had in common, but with this video almost every recipe we use it here to in Greece. It is amazing how mixed the cultures are. When Covid is over, I will for sure come again in Istanbul everyone there is super friendly and the food taste like heaven.

Hey I am a Turkish man who lives in US. I just showed your couple of videos to my wife and she became maybe your biggest fan. You are doing great job and I think Netflix or Hulu should make a show for you!!!

Beautifully said and as always, THE FOOD LOOKS AMAZING! Your videos are inspiring both emotionally and in the kitchen. Love you!

Dear Refika thank you for all this recipes just I wanna add somethings, I am sure Atom would be great with Labne but I think foreigners should see how is the Turkish yogurt, diffrences with others. When I watch Greek chiefs, they emphasize Greek yogurt, Greek virgin olive oil etc.I think maybe we need somethings like that.I say this as a Feta cheese fan which is seems same White cheese but has much better texture. Whatever If We have good at something like kitchen We must show to all the world. And As a someone do that. I am thankful to you. Loves 🙏🏼❤️

You bring the world together in your kitchen and I feel your food brings peace, unity and joy amongst your viewers and much beyond. Love from India. ❤️

Greetings from India ........I really love your Turkish style of cooking ....May Allah always shower his blessings on you and Bahar.

Love it! Making more of your Turkish delicious recipes is a great idea! Can’t wait to see and discover more of them here ✌️😋
