Like other Turkish families, breakfast and bread are something in my house that inseparable 😊. We enjoy bread breakfast until dinner.

We always eat bread at our breakfast time. Yes, I have also one or two jars of cereal, but those only for "very" emergency use 😄 . Even my kid is not a fan of breakfast with cereal.

Besides bread, pastry, bagels, or soft bread (we call it poğaça) are also served at breakfast time. And if you visit Turkiye and you go to a local restaurant (or hotel restaurant) for breakfast, you will find traditional Turkish breakfast. Which you can find anything... I mean everything! They will serve start from bread to pastries (any kind of pastries), menemen, fried egg in Turkish " sucuk" (Turkish spicy sausage), many kinds of jams, and more. And of course, breakfast in Turkiye is not complete without a hot Turkish tea 😊

I will make another post about this Turkish-style breakfast in another post.

İzmir Köfte / Turkish Izmir Kofte (meatballs)

Merhaba from Turkey everybody....

Köfte is a meatball made of ground meat, lamb, or beef. However, it can be made without any meat, like patates köftesi ( from potato) or mercimek köftesi (lentil).

The word köfte is sometimes preceded by the name of a town, which refers to the technique for cooking it or the ingredients or spices specifically used in that region, for example; İnegöl köftesi, İzmir köfte , Akçaabat köfte, pideli köfte (Bursa), Filibe köfte, Tire köfte, Islama köfte (mainly in Sakarya province) etc. 
It's main ingredients are minced meat, parsley, bread-egg (not necessarily, usually homemade köfte contains egg yolk and some crumbled bread) and a range of spices: cumin, oregano, mint powder, red or black pepper powder with onion or garlic. 

Kadınbudu köfte is another traditional specialty; minced meat is mixed with cooked rice and fried. 
Içli köfte can be described as a shell of "bulgur" filled with onion, minced meat and nuts. 
Çiğ köfte is a meze from south-eastern Turkey meaning raw meatballs, prepared with "bulgur" and raw minced meat. 
Terbiyeli Sulu Köfte is another meatball speciality cooked with flour, tomato paste and water in which lemon and egg sauce is added.

And today I made İzmir köfte or famed köfte from Izmir. İzmir is a metropolitan city in the western extremity of Anatolia and the third most populous city in Turkey, after Istanbul and Ankara. It is one of the most westernized cities in Turkey.

Gözleme is a savoury traditional Turkish flatbread, made of hand-rolled dough that is lightly brushed with butter and eggs, filled with various toppings, sealed, and cooked over a griddle.

The name derives from the Turkish word göz meaning "compartment", in reference to the pocket of dough in which the various toppings are sealed and cooked. Traditionally, this is done over a saç griddle.

Fish and Chips

Fish and chip... the meal that commonly eaten across British. One source said it's the most favorite take away food nationally. It's so popular among the British even beat Mac D ( 8 fish and chips outlets every 1 Mac D's outlet)

The potato is thought to have been brought to England from the New World in the 17th century by Sir Walter Raleigh although it is believed that the French invented the fried potato chip.

Both Lancashire and London stake a claim to being the first to invent this famous meal - chips were a cheap, staple food of the industrial north whilst fried fish was introduced in London’s East End. In 1839 Charles Dickens referred to a “fried fish warehouse” in his novel, 'Oliver Twist'.

The populace soon decided that putting fried fish and chips together was a very tasty combination and so was born our national dish of fish and chips!

A combination of Britain’s new railways and trawler fishing meant that fish could be reliably supplied inland, which coincided with chip shops spreading rapidly. It provided an exciting meal for the family that otherwise had to make do with the bleak fare of the Industrial Revolution.

Starting with just one chip shop in 1860, by 1910 there were roughly 25,000, and by 1927 there were 35,000, which shows just how popular the meal had become.

Fish and chips also had a role to play in both world wars. Due to their popularity, the government kept them off the ration list to increase morale and ensure basic nutrition for the munitions workers. Queues were often hours long once word got around that the chip shop had fresh fish! Winston Churchill even referred to them as the “good companions”.

So, there you have it; fish and chips, a national institution that’s considered by many outside it to be quintessentially British, owes its introduction to 15th century refugees, has provided nutrition and a morale boost during the Industrial Revolution and two world wars, and tastes great to boot!

Smoked Paprika Roasted Chicken and potato

Hello world..! Merhaba Turkey.. Welcome April..!
Blackout in Turkey yesterday, Tuesday, 31 March 2015, because electric cut out for almost one day in almost all Turkey provinces (79 from 81 provinces). I'm living in Bursa, the electric cut about 8 AM until 5 PM... then again at 7.30 PM to around 8.30 PM.
My husband called from his office that whole Turkey has blackout so he couldn't work and would go home early.

At first, Some rumors said about cyberattack at TEİAŞ (Turkish Electricity Production Company). But according to news on local televisions, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu said all possible causes of the outage were being investigated and sabotage was not being ruled out, but said trouble with transmission lines was the most likely reason for the problem

Imagine a country without an electric... chaos everywhere... traffic light off, all metro , tramway and high speed train service stop and cancel. Police officers were deployed to manage traffic at major junctions where traffic signals were disrupted. Firefighters were also called to rescue people stuck in elevators. 

Those chaos were outside of my house... meanwhile me, husband and kid stayed did nothing but played ball inside house with our kid. No baking activity for me (^,^).. We just made simple dinner until electric brought a big smile again in our face....
I never imagine in older time before electricity being invested by Thomas Alva Edison.... What people did to their live? (^,^)

Well...that was yesterday chaos in Turkey..

Today everything back to normal again... Alhamdulillah... and I can notice that my kid didn't affected by unavailable of TV or youtube kids video from our computer at home... So I happily I can say she doesn't addicted by TV or video or any gadget.

And for today's dinner I made this smoke paprika roasted chicken, I complete it also with roasted potato. You can use sweet potato too if you like.

Perkedel Kentang (Indonesian style potato patties)

Do you know that many Indonesian cuisines influenced by other country? We have 'peranakan food' which influence by china. Some food also influences by Indian food and Arabic. And since Dutch colonial were in Indonesia long time ago, many Dutch influence in our cuisine heritage also. 

Like previously I mentioned on my last post, I shared some "dutch influence" foods in my previous post, like Oliebollen, Kaastengels, Kroketten, Bitterballen, and much more

Perkedel came from Dutch language, frikadel. Frikadel originally from Europe which is made from minced meat and fried. But in Indonesia we adapted that food according to our taste and our common ingredients. This perkedel made from mashed potatoes mix with minced meat then we fry it. Commonly we eat this as side dish or complement of Nasi tumpeng or nasi kuning (yellow rice)

And since I didn't make this perkedel so long..I kinda miss and crave about it... And also I wanna introduce more food variety as many as I can to my little girl. And if you want to make this vegetarian version you just can skip minced meat and just go ahead with use only potatoes.

And here I recipe I adapted from my auntie.

Hot pogača filled with sour cream (or fetacheese in Turkey and Bulgaria) is considered a particularly delicious specialty.

If necessary add warm water little by little while knead the dough until smooth and not sticky at your hand (or you can use your electric kneading mixer). Cover with plastic wrap or towel and rest the dough in warm place until doubles (I need ± 45 minutes)
3) Hit the dough to remove air and divide them into 13 ~ 15 small balls. Fill with stuffing mixture and shape round oval form (or according to your taste). Cover with towel and let them rest again about 30 minutes.
4) preheat oven to 180 º C. Place dough on baking sheet cover with baking paper or coated with margarine. Grease top of each dough with molasses mixture and sprinkle with sesame. Bake 15 ~ 20 minutes or until golden color.
