Refika, I’m Turkish. I have tried this recipe when you did it four years ago for your Turkish channel. It was perfect. I just wanted to thank you for showing our food and cultural details people from every corner around the world. Your efforts shouldn’t be taken for granted. I really appreciate your efforts.

I just bought this from a turkish store in🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹 Trinidad i love it😊

My great grandfather immigrated to the US from Turkey over 100 years ago. He passed before I got to meet him, and watching your shows and trying the cuisine is giving me some type of connection to a lost part of my heritage. Thank you!

I am speechless! You used all of my favourite ingredients, walnuts, pears, rocket, what can I say? I will also add that all these recipes today are gluten free and this is much appreciated! Today I cooked humus and falafel you way. I had a big problem though, I couldn't stop eating I ate so much humus I went to sleep like a bear. Im sending you my love to all of your beautiful friends, thank you again for the inspiration you bring to my everyday cooking! Kisses from Athens!😘

Wow, that was amazing. I had no idea that pomegranate was so versatile. Growing in Canada, we ate pomegranate seeds with our fingers. Now I live in Mexico we can pick them off the trees. The Mexicans make a pomegranate punch with fruit, nuts and cane alcohol.

I've been making pomegranate molasses for a couple of years now! And making your kısır recipe since last summer! It is addictive!! my 12 year old daughter loves it. The only ingredient that I can't get in Spain is the type of pepper paste you use, so I substitute it for a little of good quality harissa and it gives it an amazing spicy touch. All your recipes are incredible!

Your recipes are great, but what is also very important is the way you present your videos. Your cheerful approach is much appreciated. When you know how to cook, when you love food and enjoy doing what you do, the result becomes perfect.

Dear Refika, you are cooking MIRACLES and I mean it!!! Hats off to the Turkish cuisine and to your creativity!!!

Hi Refika and your elves. Thank you so much for compiling such super videos. The food you make looks scrumptious!!! Wish you had a restaurant - I would come to Turkey for a few days to sample all the foods I want to try that you have made and then stock up on your knife set and pomegranate sour and various herbs, etc and come home again. Then i would move home so could have a bigger kitchen and then would begin following your recipes. In the meantime, I just continue watching your videos. Take care of yourselves and once again a big thank you for making awesome videos!!!!

You are my culinary Turkish hero....for really much! You nail cooking like no one else and your team is the bomb....keep on!

Beautiful, I love pomegranates. The dish you did with the pomegranate arils & the pistachios looked like it had been studded with rubies & emeralds. Love a mix of pomegranate & beetroot juice together, very good for you too; you can also use the mix in place of tomato juice in a "Bloody Mary" cocktail if you drink. 🍹 I used to get a pomegranate in my stocking every Christmas, I would eat it taking out each individual aril out with a pin! We really didn't know how to deal with them back in the 70's here in the UK. 😄 When I first got my hands on pomegranate molasses years ago it was a taste sensation, use it quite a bit in my cooking now.

Wow! A feast for the eyes and am sure for the tummy too! Will be making them all, but today I will make the last salad for sure, because I have all the ingredients!

Love Love Love all of your videos, advice and energy. Never stop!

I love the reactions of everyone tasting the dishes! Y'all are amazing.

Pomegranates are one of my favorite fruits, and I'm hoping that my little pomegranate trees will eventually give me some fruits even in our cold climate.

Wow! Just wow!! Looks delicious.

This other salad with goat cheese and that wonderful pomogranite and peaceful sauce looks fantastic too!!!
