Selam.... Merhaba from Türkiye.. 👋

We call this dızmana (read;desh-mana), dizman or dıclama. But mostly people just named it göçmen böreği. 

İt's not really like pastry you probably know which made from thin layers of phyllo dough or puff pastry or flaky dough pastry.
İt's a pastry dish, bread-like pour with yogurt egg sauce then bake.
Sometimes fill with cheese or mashed potatoes, but plain without any filling also as good as with filling.

This dızmana is commonly made in Bulgaria by Thracian immigrants. But now everybody across regions also love to bake it.
Also see my other Turkish pastry (börek) in "Börekler" category.

Selam. Merhaba from Türkey everybody 🙋

Bread is a staple here at my house. I bake bread almost every day. Any kind of bread. For daily consume I bake no-knead artisan-style bread once in every two days-but if we get guess come over our house I bake more.

You can check my bread category to see my bread recipes.

Local bread here has like other European bread which has crusty exterior and chewy soft inside. Different from Asian style bread which mostly has cotton soft in texture and most probably has a slightly sweet taste.

Including Indonesian people. Bread is not staple for us. Yes sometimes we eat it for breakfast or brunch. But mostly we enjoy bread as snacking or "dessert" that is why our bread has soft in texture and slightly sweet. 
We vary our soft bread start from beef/ chicken floss until jam. Sausage, cheese, chocolate, banana, pineapple, meat, chicken... you mention .. we have all 😊

My aunties also master in cooking. She cooked for the crowd and she was good on it. Took orders from neighbors and friends.
But since she's getting older now, she refuses some request for healthy reason.
But my younger aunt still do it.

"Marmer" is marble in English. So this is our old classic Indonesian Marble cake.

Me and my siblings and my big family grew up with this old and classic cake. I remember my late grandmother and my aunty often baked this for us.
I think every kid my age also had the same memory about this cake. We can find this delicious kind of cake when somebody had a celebration like a birthday, circumcision, marriage or just a family gathering.
That is why make this so cake so memorable classic and every kids' favorite cake. And every family has its own recipe.

Do not ask me why...
Sun and summer is my soul.😪

Well... Just give me some cookies and coffee.. maybe I won't escape from the winter 😄

Yep.. cookies and me (and my kid) are friends. Maybe because I am a "snack" person who enjoys small meals between our main mealtime.

And if you already knew me.. cookies are always on my house, not just during holiday time but always. 

Today I am going to share my ultimate checkerboard cookies. My kid loves it so much, and when she brought them to school, and shared them with her friends. The kids were so happy and they liked it! 😍

Indonesian Lamb or mutton satay with peanut sauce / Sate Kambing Bumbu Kacang

Resep Dalam Bhs Indonesia bisa dilihat di sini











Selam Everybody...........Merhaba from Türkiye.

Satay is a grilled meat dish famous throughout Southeast-Asia. Indonesians consider it a national dish conceived by street vendors. These tasty meat skewers are most popular with chicken, beef also lamb or mutton. We also have vegetarian satay version use tofu and tempeh instead of meat. 

Traditionally it served with white steamed rice or cake rice (Ind; ketupat and lontong). 

And generally it served with fresh cucumber pickle as well. Some area (like Madura island) serve together with bone soup or in middle Java serve this satay with gulai tongseng.

So if you want this satay in quick, you should prepare your white rice or cake rice in advance. Also you need to make peanut sauce and fresh pickled cucumber ahead.

In Indonesia it self there are many types of satay from various regions and of various ingredients. For example, from Padang city (Sumatra), I like satay Padang. There are also "sate kelapa" (beef satay wrapped with grated coconut-My best favorite)-it's mostly common from Madura Island, quail eggs satay, clam satay, 'tempeh' and tofu satay or mushroom satay for vegetarian option.

And there are dozens of other types of satay (which is nearly I have eaten already).

Bread or ekmek we call in Turkish language is a staple of all food in Türkey as well very much important in Turkish culture.  Not just bread, we treat our food with respect. Wasting foods (bread) is disrespectful and günah or sin.
Eat and finish what you take.

Bread is always on our dinner table. Serve morning to evening. Dip in a hot creamy soup, eaten with Turkish köfte (meatball) in between or any meal. Or just simply spread it with salça (homemade tomato paste) for hurry brunch.

You can find a dozen types of ekmek/ bread in market or local fırın (bakery) which always serve fresh and hot bread from a traditional big stone oven. And there is one bread that is specially baked on a special occasion, Ramadhan or Ramazan. İt's Ramazan pidesi.

There are many classic dishes that are associated with Ramazan in Turkey. But no other item signifies the breaking of the fast better than a loaf of pide (read; pee-deh).
Ramazan pidesi is round and flat in form and has a weave-like patterned crust shape by fingers.

Ramazan pidesi is made of wheat flour with yeast, rub with egg wash, and topped with sesame and black sesame seed.

You like to check Peynirli pide (pastane usulü) / Turkish Cheesy Pide Bread (soft version)

It is traditionally served for the iftar and sahur meals during the holy month of Ramadan
is a highlight bread in turkey during Ramadhan month.

Bakeries all over Turkey provide this Ramazan pidesi hot and fresh about an hour or two before iftar time. So you will see a long queue in front of fırın/ bakery before iftar time to get this delicious pide hot from the oven during the month of Ramadhan.

Look inside the crumb! so fluffy. Yummy!

For some people eating offal or another part of an animal sounds gross. Or maybe some of you just don't know how to prepare or cook them.

Offal could be delicious as normal meat if we know how to cook it, for example, cow's feet (or legs) or (beef) tongue. You can be hooked once you taste a delicious meal using those animal parts because it is prepared correctly and cook in a clever way. 

Today I am going to share a tip on how to prepare and cook beef tongue. Beef tongue is lean meat that can be very tasty. But when you didn't cook it properly it can be pretty chewy and almost rubbery.

Since it's quite lean as I mentioned above, it'll take some time to cook to have a butter-soft texture which we look for. Some said 30 minutes per pound, some said an hour. 
Personally, I didn't really use a timer or whatsoever, İ just cooked and check my beef (ox) tongue periodically and test it by inserting a big fork in the thickest part of the tongue, when it easily slip off from the fork it's done.

You can try my Turkish Food Recipe; Dil Söğüş / Boiled  Sliced beef (ox) tongue

İn fact actually..tell you the truth, it's one of  intriguing dessert to try. İf you never bake one before you might feel kinda worry it'll end up cracking or disaster.

But once you succeed... believe me, you will not not stop until you bake many of them with many filling, many various flavors or even playing with the decoration and pattern 😤
