    What size cake pan should be used, please?

  • @turkswhoeat
    @turkswhoeat3 күн бұрын

    I used a 24cm pan which results in a pretty thin cake. You could use a slightly smaller pan and get a thicker cake, it will just take about 5-10 minutes longer cooking time.

    Good day neighbours. Glad you enjoyed your stay at our island. We have so much in common, we should build a Turkiye and Hellenic confederation. After all we exchange tourists for decades, many of our dishes and drinks are same or similar, we share temperaments in many cases. It's not just the earthquakes that bring us together, we're almost brothers and sisters. Actually I'm making halva while typing this. Cheers...

    There are so many restaurants in Chania but the ones that stood out to us and recommended by locals are: Chrisostomos - where many locals eat - within the Old Town but not on the water. Unique experience - great food. Oinopoieion - recommended by a number of locals and very good. Tamam - Fantastic food recommended to us by a number of locals. Gramvousa Restaurant near Balos Beach - incredible atmosphere, authentic, great food and one of the best food experiences we had in Greece. Reservations at these restaurants are always a good idea at all of the restaurants in Chania. They are good and busy for a reason. And, don't miss Balos Beach - this is one of the world's most unique beaches and absolutely stunning. We drove on a terrible road to the beach - to get there early - the views and experience were well worth the terrible drive. It's also accessible by ferry - but the ferry arrives later in the day and not quite the same experience. Elafonissi is a nice beach but nowhere near the beauty and experience of Balos.

    Turks and Greeks lived together for centuries. That affected two nations dramatically, not only culturally but genetically too. Both nations will be shocked if they get their fully genetic results.
