hahah me too😂

I made this last weekend for a group of friends and neighbors. There wasn’t a scrap of food left. Your channel has made me the hero of every weekend meal with my friends. Thank you for adding so much flavor to my life.❤

Refika, not only are your recipes extremely delicious and really fast - which is the only recipes I look for, but you are a wonderful person! You are authentic, I love your humor and the people's around you and also how you don't need to present a perfect show. You sometimes might use vegetables that are a bit oldish which shows how a real kitchen works. I love your English and I love when some bloopers happen. You give us many substitutes for the ingredients and the explanations for why you use the different techniques is extremely helpful. I have tried some of your recipes and they are out of this world. I sometimes watch your recipes for my relaxation but I get too excited 😁 Thank you so much for sharing your character and food with us!!! I am Cypriot and they taught us at school that Turks are our enemies. I will plaster your face all over our schools. And then this will end! You are the face of a real loving human 💕

People are not enemies because of some political situations. Countries, may be. But absolutely not people. They tried to make us believe we are, for hundreds of years but we shouldn't buy it anymore.. I am a Turk, and I have no reason to hate you. Because I don't know you, so you can't be my enemy. I only know you are a human being like me, you have feelings; joy, sadness, fear, anger and you have regrets you have "what if"s in life, just like me.. I have no idea who you are but I can understand you. Hate is never an easy thing, but understanding is. We all need to remember this.

Also ı wanna add,,, realy believe me,, in turkey we have no any special hate sentences in education system,,, Only history lessons explain,,, Britain, France, italy, Greece attacked us in 1918-9 and we kicked them out,,, nothing personal about british, French, italian or greek People,,,, Nothing more related with citizens

I would LOVE the recipe for that bread as well! I love Turkish cuisine and particularly the chewy bread soaking up all the juice from delicious köfte.

malezya'da yasiyorum, burada hintli arkadaslarim da cok seviyor senin kanalini ve baya baya tariflerini yapiyorlar :) . yasa varol. eline saglik.

My mom is German and Scottish and I grew up eating Kofte. My mom just called it meatballs and my great great great grandmother taught her. Its amazing how one simple food can spread so wide among countries. I'm glad it did. Everyone must try this! Oh your beat hummus recipe ( AMAZING )Thanks for sharing.

I had breakfast at 10.00 today. I've had nothing since and it's now 18.10. The koftes were wonderful, but I thought the way you did that bread was absolutely gorgeous. This lot made me drool. My stomach is making a hell of a racket.

Since you did a colab with Alex @frenchguycooking I cannot get enough of you Refika. You act like a bridge between Turkish cuisine and us, bringing all the goodness here on your channel for us to enjoy and of course, try and replicate. I also visited Istanbul a few times in the past years and fell in love with the food there, it's simply mind blowing and cannot describe in words the experience. Keep up the good job and maybe in the future you can surprise us with some deserts recipes a la Haviz Mustafa style 😁 Big love from Romania and be safe you guys!

Hello I'm from Serbia. We call that "Ćufte" and we cook them in tomato soup. Well ,we spent 500 year's under Turkish command, so we gotta have familiar names for food. Kebab- Ćevap, džezva- pot for cooking coffee, budala- crazy man, baba-old women, đevrek - pastry with "susam " ⭕ shape. Susam- sesame. Aman- it means a lot of thing" cut it out, stop, it's enough, it's to much" approximately 8000-10 000 Turkish words in our language. 🙂.

I made these with moose meat and they were incredibly moist and delicious, something that doesn't always happen with moose as it is a very lean wild meat. Now I need to write the recipe out into my recipe book to keep forever! Cheers, lady 🇨🇦

Oh my God. This is making me drool. I'm a southern American and I've never heard of, or seen, this. But that meat and what you did to that bread... 😍😍😍

Now your talking!....great rithm to started your video 🇹🇷 🎼. and rock music. What? Loved to see you happy. I’m going to cook of Köfte.

So in love with the soaking of the bread in butter😍😍😍omg

Awesomeness looking at this Kofte... Salam from 🇸🇬 Singapore, Asia.. love your channel.. will try to cook this Refika... Ive tried making donar, menemen from your recipe.. Superb delicous..thanks a million 😘

I am so hungry watching her videos!

Mamma miaaaaa!!!! Buonissimo!!! Tu e Bahar mi fate troppa simpatia!! I love you! You and the köfte 😉.

Refika hanım, Türk mutfağımızı, ingilizce olarak yabancılara tanıttığınız için teşekkür ederim. Malum, diğer ülkeler tüm dünyaya, Türk yemeklerimizi kendilerine aitmiş gibi benimsetmeye çalışıyorlar. Bu yüzden de çok teşekkürler. Sevgiler…

The hummus and tahini I made using your recipes turned out very well and I have converted my husband to liking hummus. I will now try the kofte,, it looks so appetising. Thank you, Refika, I love your channel!

In my garden I grow a lot of peperoni and chilis (among them turkish ones : acı sivri kil, çarliston, acı dolma). I prepare a lot of preserved sauces, also turşu, jams. I also dry peperoni slices and chop it in small flakes. These flakes are a super great ingredient in köfte, because while the meat+onion+bread is resting overnight they re-moisture with the mixture's liquids and don't bring extra water, but a nefiiiiis summery flavor! Other tip : very often in the Balkans they let rest for a couple of hours crushed garlic in a small amount of water, filter and add only the water into the köfte mixture. It brings an extra flavour without risking to have a burnt garlic taste (which might occur if you put chopped garlic into the mixture).

Hello from Texas!! Thank you for sharing your recipes I always get so hungry for your Turkish style food and you make cooking look so easy. Thank you!! We don't have any restaurants around me serving dishes like this so your channel can be my teacher to try and make this awesome looking food at home.

Last year my family and I took our first Turkish holiday, we enjoyed it immensely and food was the highlight. Will definitely be trying this recipe.

So you were a picky eater as a child, Refika. No wonder you became a fantastic cook. Bless you and thanks for sharing your wonderful recipes

It's early April and everything outside is covered in a thin layer of freezing rain. You bring me the hope of spring.

💃🎸😄 love your energy 😄🎸💃 never thought of adding baking powder to the mince, will give a try🤔

Thank you for this recipe! Your channel gives me so much joy and happy memories from when I was studying in Istanbul last year 😭I miss Turkey so much and I can't wait to go back, ❤️from Singapore

I love your recipes, love your personality and love learning about your country and seeing the videos of Turkey. More of everything please.

Wow wow wow! This is perfect! So delicious!

Refika, you are amazing. I have been subscribed and watching you since May 2020 and I think you're absolutely wonderful. I believe in my heart that Turkish food is my long lost soul love. :) Truly! However I have Celiac disease and eat an entirely grain free diet. I was wondering if you have any thoughts on how to get Kofte perfect without breadcrumbs. Also, maybe you could do an episode wherein you list several Turkish foods that are prepared without gluten or dairy always safe to those of us that have to avoid gluten and dairy to eat when we visit Turkey or when we're in a Turkish restaurant? Regardless if whether or not you ever do anything specifically without gluten, I must thank you for spreading your exuberant love of cooking and the joy of food with the world. You, Behar and the rest of your crew are special people. Thank you so much.

Rafika I just ate dinner and now I want some Kofte! Guess what’s for lunch tomorrow? I can NOT wait to cook this for dinner that’s why it will be for lunch 😋

This is the first time I am commenting on youtube and I felt the need to do so because of the amazing results I had with this recipe. The result was a mind boggling and delicious dish that my entire family enjoyed tremendously. I've been watching a lot of recipes and loving each and every one of them. Keep up the great work Refika. You have a solid fan base in Pakistan.

my first taste of this meatball was when I was part of a tour group offered by Turkish Airline during my 9 hours layover in Istanbul in 2016, between the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, they took us to lunch with your meatballs. I was expecting Italian meatball with sub, lol but so glad I had tasted real Turkish meatballs.

Wonderful. Tastes great. Is even eaten by my two year old. Thanks for sharing your recipes, your love and your laughter.

Made your recipe with lamb leftover from our holiday dinner. It’s great. Thank you for the great technique and the recipe.

Yum! Can’t wait to try this. In the US Whole Foods sells KOFTE on a stick.

Sen bu ülkenin başına gelen en güzel şeylerden birsin refikaaaa!😍🥰gurur duyuyoruz

I made this…! Right down to the bread infused with butter water! Omg! It’s amazing… i didn’t have any green chilies so i spiced it up with some cayenne and paprika and substituted the fresh green chilies with green (spring) onions soooooo….. delicious! Yeeeeeeeuuuuummmmm….. I also put yogurt on the side with dried mint mixed in it… so yummy!

You are always so happy ! Very good !

Wonderful. Quick and easy

Hi Refika! I live in the USA. My 16 years old daughter took a cooking class in high school. Her teacher assigned her and her classmates a final project to cook a nice recipe. We chose your recipe because it looked so delicious and different than American foods. We sent her teacher your recipe and she said that we have to cook healthier version of it. We changed the ground beef to ground chicken. We got so mad at her first because she messed up our recipe! We cooked it with ground chicken and omg! Thank god she changed it!!!It was so delicious! We already made this recipe three times. You should try it too! Thank you!!!

Another great video, cannot wait to make this one, tfs

That looks wonderful

I tried this recipe and we loved it, so tasty and easy! Thank you
