General Tso's chicken is a sweet deep-fried chicken dish that is served in North American Chinese restaurants. The dish is named after Zuo Zongtang (also romanized Tso Tsung-t'ang), a Qing dynasty statesman and military leader, although there is no recorded connection to him nor is the dish known in Hunan, Zuo's home province.

A dish made of deep-fried batter-coated pieces of chicken that are cooked in a sweet, tangy, and sometimes spicy sauce. Some vegetables commonly served.

Even this dish is so popular in US, you might be surprised to learn that General Tso’s chicken is actually not very big in China — and it doesn’t even originate from mainland China. In fact, it hasn’t even been around for long: Its creation is widely credited to Peng Chang-kuei (who recently died) in 1952.

Summer is at its peak. The only thing that comes to mind when the summer is getting hot is cold drinks. To beat the heat also to be healthy at the same time and not to leave our body to dehydrate. The favorite choice is this Turkish "Reyhan Şerbeti".

Reyhan means Red basil while şerbeti from word şerbet literally means sherbet or syrup.

Not to be confused with frozen sherbet/ sorbet.
The sherbet, which is very popular in West and East Asia, comes from the Arabic word “shariba”. If it means “drinking". 

So what is this sherbet? Sherbet is a refreshing and healthy syrup usually made from fruit, flower extracts, and herbs. The main ingredient is sugar and water. The prepared ingredient is then diluted with water and sugar is added for taste. 

It is also served with ice to add coolness. For some syrups, milk is also used instead of water. Lime juice is also added to most sorbet recipes. For this reason, lime water helps prevent the sugar from crystallizing in the syrup and enriches the flavor. 

There are hundreds of varieties of sherbet can be made. Start from flowers, fruits, herbs, and spices. And they are not only prepared for hot summer, adding some warm herbs and spices, these sherbets perfect for warming up your body during wintertime.

My today post is about this ancient healthy yet refreshing beverage. And for cold down the summer heat, I will share Red basil sherbet or called "Reyhan Şerbeti".

I have a pot of red basil that needs to be harvested, so making this sherbet isn't just cool down my summer, but also keep my red basil plant alive and healthy 😊

But anybody knows the benefit of Red basil?

EASY AND TASTY NO KNEAD ARTISAN BREAD

Merhaba From Türkiye 👋

During pandemic and quarantine time, I see many people have a trend to bake their own bread. I am with you my friends, baking our own bread is giving us undescribed happiness and satisfaction. Nothing more heaven than the smell of bread baking in the oven.

I started baking my own bread since 2009 when I am married my husband. Learning by doing. You can check my "Bread and buns" category to see my "baking bread journey" 😊 . And I am still want to learn more and bake more 🥖

The most bread I bake and serve to my family is sandwich white bread. Also, Turkish Pide bread which always on our dinner table every weekend. There are some versions of Pide bread, No-knead version, knead version, and Pide bread with poolish method.

And today I will share my latest bread recipe; a hearty, rustic of no-knead artisan bread

Artisan bread is a term that has no absolute definition but refers to a style of short shelf-life bread that is usually offered unpackaged (in baskets) and consumed immediately after baking for maximum freshness.

The term artisan bread conjures the image of artisan bakers who are masters of their craft, shaping bread by hand and only using the basic bread ingredients: flour, water, yeast, salt, and most importantly time. This is a stark contrast to the standardized, repeatable, and industrially produced bread that is often found in the supermarket bread aisle.~~ Bakerpedia.com

One of my family's fave cake is a marble cake. The best combination of marble cake I like is coffee and chocolate. Chocolate and coffee are matched with each other, don't you think so? It's a rich and addict combination, my first choice for making a marble cake. 

Today I will share another marble cake, but it's different from my previous classic butter marble cake. Since I have so many leftover eggwhites, I decide to make it a cake.

Eggwhite cake tends to be tasteless, so adding a combination of a chocolate and coffee absolutely great idea I think.

Some of you may have a recipe that only uses egg yolks and left the whites... Next time do not discard your egg whites, cause you still can use them in some recipes. Keep them in a clean airtight jar and store in the refrigerator.

Or maybe you already have some leftover egg whites and still looking for recipes that use only the whites. 
Well.. you come to the right page 😉
I have 20+ recipes using egg whites only. You can check my web page category by ingredient and click at subcategory "egg white"

If you are my old blog reader you may already familiar with my steamed cake recipe, like my famous "Zebra Steamed cake from egg white" or my "Steamed Dark Chocolate Forest Cake".

Also, you should check my ultimate eggwhite cake here.
