Many decades ago (many) my Grandmother said "its a sin to waste food". So true, learned from a Granny born in 1893. Thankful!

​@Refika in Maltese we call bereket, barka t'Alla, meaning blessings from God, or abundance and prosperity.

@@claub2621 I am a native speaker of both Turkish and English, and am simply making a correction.

I just made the tahini sauce to serve under some roasted eggplants and let me tell you - it is divine. Refika never steers me wrong. We have another winner!!!

You are doing a great job for the society❤️ I was a hard core non vegetarian till I visited a farm and witnessed the horror of the dairy industry. The cow is inseminated painfully every 6 months so that calf is born. The calves are taken away immediately without a single drop of milk. The male calves are transported to the slaughterhouse to be killed on the very day. This process continues for some years till the cow is completely exhausted and later sold for meat. That’s the milk we consume. I literally had sleepless nights after watching the cows, their udders become so big they can’t even move. And they run to save their babies from going to the slaughterhouse. Thank you for these recepies so that people can choose compassion in their plate instead of pain.

Unfortunately this is true. It must've been very touchy. So you went vegan then?

I made the same comment under kısır and lentil köfte videos before, and I want to repeat it here too. Don't hesitate to try this recepie. It has been eaten for hundreds of years in this kebab heaven for a good reason. It's freaking delicious. 😋

My beautiful hometown ❤️ Refika, you brought me to tears 🥹 I am in the US now, next week is Thanksgiving here (also my birthday 🎂). We are going to have an international Thanksgiving dinner here where everyone brings some traditional food from their country. I was thinking of what to make and saw your video 🎉 Now I have no doubts, I will definitely make this delicious piyaz from my lovely hometown so that people around the world also have chance to taste it! Thank you so much, lots of love from the US 😋

In India, we call it Piyaz as well. You’re my favourite Chef

This looks like the perfect side to our South African summer braai (bbq on open fire). I love making 3 bean salad as a side, but this is much simpler and will deliver as much flavour - thank you!

sonunda bir youtuber bu yemeği ingilizce çekti ya. çok underrated bir yemek.

We are so lucky in London cos so many Turkish restaurants, bakery and corner shops . The food is so fresh and healthy 💕 👌

Thank for telling the world about the concept of BARAKAH!

I visited Turkey last month and you guys have some of the best food, no kidding! Absolutely loved Piyazı, Pide, Kofte, and Kebap. Also the breakfast spread was to die for!

Fantastic…. Thank you for making is vegan friendly with the simple omission of eggs🎉

so much cultural crossover from turkey into india! we also call onion piyaz here! love your channel refika

Made this recipe without the eggs. Love it .

What a lovely and simple dish. We think this would be perfect for a luncheon. We will for sure put this into our rotation. Much love to you and to your super talented crew!

I am making my next grocery list with what I need to make this delicious-looking dish, and I am already hungry to try it! 💖

This is my first time watching your video and that bean dish that you just made yummy. I’m Italian and we use a lot of fresh beans so I must try this dish. Thanks for the recipe I’m going to start followingyou.

Thanks Refika! You are a real blessing! ❤

Hello Refika: 🎉Thanks for this, 'Apologies to Osman' s Antalyan Piyaz' Recipe. Love the addition of Olive Oil, Vinegar & Pepper💃

Beautiful! Simple healthy and delicious! Can’t wait to try! And thank you for always giving us some words of wisdom along the way ❤️

Great dish! I love pilaki so I'm sure I'll like this too. Do an episode making pine cone jam, sage jam, or one of the other less common types of jam from your breakfast video. I am so curious about these unusual types of jam. Also, tazi fasulye is so good. I make it like my mother did. I watched your version on the turkish channel but I think people would really like it. It's also vegetarian/vegan.

I am always happy to learn another way to use tahini, thank you, Refika :)

Thank you, dear Refika. I would like to encounter more Mediterranean cuisines through your channel

It’s beautiful and I can smell it from here!

Looks delicious! Thank you Refika!

Your presentations make everything so accessible. I can't wait to try this.

Love bean salad and this one looks scrumptious! Thanks again for sharing this recipe! Can't wait to make it. Love and thanks to you all!💗

Beautiful! I love the way you define"bereket" and apply it in your cooking. Thank you so much.

Simple and looks delightful. Thanks again for sharing such a wonderful dish. Have you done an English version of Etli Ekmek? I love it and would like to know how to make it. Thank for all you do.

Hello lovely Refika Thanks for sharing with us ❤❤❤ You're plate is so beautiful 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏽

I made it! The first time I had this dish was in a bazar in Antalya. I really loved the dish and all this time I have been wondering what ingredients it had. I think I nailed it! Thank you so much, friend! Xx I will post pictures tomorrow on IG!

Love the vegetarian recipes! This looks delicious! Love your channel and your words of wisdom...😊

Just want to thank you for sharing your great recipes! Love Türkiye 🇹🇷

Looks so delicious thank you! Can’t wait to try this dish.

I made this last night and it was fabulous! Thank you Refika

So appreciate your vegetarian/vegan dishes. They always give me new and creative ideas. Thank you!

Muhteşem Antalya dan selamlar sevgiler orijinal tarifi vermişsiniz

Wow! Wow! Simple yet elegantly beautiful and possibly very delicious 😘

Such a beautiful dish! It's always a pleasure to watch your videos!! Blessings and love!🙏❤

Thanks, Refrika. Love the vegan dishes. More please!

Yet another recipe I would like to try. Thank you. Tomatoes, I have seen Turkish, Spanish and Canary Island one for sale on the Uk and here in Ireland but the best are the ones I grow myself in a polytunnel many kilos of them. These are then canned (bottled), frozen or dehydrated to carry the family through to next year. The taste of them is beyond compare.

This has got to be my favorite cooking chanel...Love it,being vegetarian,its simple and nutrious !!!

This is a whole meal 😋😋😋 thank you for sharing

I will try this recipe of yours, looks yummy.

I love your recipes 🎉thanks ❤❤

So good. I'd love to see more bean recipes. Today's prices are crazy, but beans have so far remained reasonable, at least in Canada. That and cabbage, which I don't think is your thing. Anyway, in addition to bean recipes, did you ever do your sustainability video? I love the philosophy you speak of. Bereket. I'd love to know more about your "seed bank" for example. This dish is delicious!

Nice 😊

Love this! Can you please make kuru fasulya , without meat? I want to see how you make it.

Yum! I'd love to learn about winter vegetable dishes. Where I live fresh "winter" vegetables are generally long-storing root vegetables like beets, carrots, potatoes, parsnips, sweet potatoes, various squashes. Generally broccoli and kale are available into early winter. What veg are commonly eaten in Turkiye in winter months?

baraket = blessings and bounty within the blessings....could you make some quick meal ideas, turkish delight, gozleme

Hi Refika and team i am a huge fan your channel, as a few years ago when i came to Germany i was very impressed by delicious Turkish food here wanted to cook myself so explored you tube and there you were smiling and teaching recipes which are easy and yummmmmm. But i have several questions as a muslim I am scared to buy some ingredients like Balsamic vinegar, white wine vinegar, I wanted to if the are Halal

I don't know what it is yet, but if you made it, it must be delicious! 🥰

@@pinar3516 Yes. I’m aware. I believe the Turkish restaurant we go to in NY has created this mash up recipe and I can tell you it is absolutely fabulous. The topping is creamy and melty. It goes under the broiler for yummy brown peaks of goodness. I suggested it because if anyone could dream up something similar I’m sure Refika and her team could and it would be amazing. 😋

Please refika , can you make your jams recipes I saw in the grand breakfast ❤❤
