Husband prefer to have something light for after dinner dessert or just light cake/ snack accompany us during tea time.

And when one cooking group İ just joined in Instagram has theme for this week; marble cake. So voalla.... İ have a reason to rebake my childhood fave cake; butter cake.

At first İ wanted to make marble swiss roll but my kid out of sudden asking me to make A cake. She said boring with roll cake 😘😘😘😘 Aahh...ah..kido! She can request now..😊

Adana kebab is a hand-minced meat kebab, mounted on a wide long skewer then grilled (mangal) over charcoal. This kebab mostly has a spicy distinguished taste due to the addition of a lot of spicy Urfa biber / isot biber. 
Urfa biber is a dried Turkish chili pepper (type of Capsicum annuum cultivated) origin from Urfa (Şanlıurfa- one province in southeast Turkey) 

This kebab is named after the city where this famous kebab came from - Adana.
Adana is the 6th big city in population (2016) in Turkey (south).

You may want to try this Çökertme kebabı also

Urfa biber / isot biber

There is also similar to this kebab named Urfa kebabı ( from Şanlıurfa) or people calls haşhaş kebabı which is less spicy than Adana kebab.

But I assure you those kebabs are extremely delicious and once you eat it you won't forget the taste and you will ask for more. 

Even the kebabs from Adana city (far away to south Anatolia), no need to worry if you visit Turkey (Istanbul or other cities) you'll find this Adana kebab seller everywhere almost in each city. But still-of course-you must-visit Adana to taste the real bud of Adana kebab 😊

Selam...Merhaba from Türkey.

İt's pineapple tart cookies AGAIN...!! 😉
YYaaayyy..... İ hope you are not bored with it. Yep. This is the MOST repeatable cookie İ made for our cookie jar.
İ lloovvee it and never get bored of it. İf you know what pineapple tart cookies ( İnd, Nastar) is and you ate them before İ believe you like them as well.

Pineapple tarts cookies is one of Indonesian traditional (and some neighbouring countries) cookies that commonly made and serve during religious holiday such as Eid-el Fitr or christmas along with many other traditional cookies like; kaastengels, putri salju, pastel mini, Butter cokies or simple chocolate cookies and more.

But in my house, no need to wait until holiday season to have this melt in mouth yummy cookies. Me and family always have evening tea time just like other Turkish family~and it would be very nice to have some cookies with it, right?
So I always have jars full with some cookies and this pineapple tarts cookies (nastar) is almost never empty cause I love it so much!
With sweet slightly sour taste from homemade pineapple jam inside of melting yummy cookie dough, nothing can beat this favorite tarts till now.

Even İ make this nastar quite often, as İ mentioned above-we never boring of it because we can vary it as many as we can. Just check my COOKİES CATEGORY to see my "nastar" variations. Just like today, İ make cheesy pineapple tart cookie. Adding some cheese into the dough definitely enrich the taste of this classic Indonesian cookies. 💙

Roll Cake... something you never stop eating only one slice.

Especially when it's good...

And this chocolate roll cake is great! Really good.

İ have been trying so many recipes before and they were all turning out deliciously. But this is my second chocolate swiss roll beside my old post Almond Chocolate Swiss Roll Cake.

Found this recipe on youtube by Michael Lim and it really worth keeper recipe.

Absolutely will repeat making it since İ love the recipe and more important is my family like it too.

Different from traditional Indonesian roll cake which requires small amount of cake emulsifier, this recipe use a separated egg method to allow the cake fluffy and soft.

The cake also moist and has delicate pores and crumbs. The sweetness is just perfect for us. And the most important thing for roll cake is this cake flexible and easy to roll, no crack problem.

The cake vanished just in one day! 
You should try it too and tell me how do you like it.

Laz böreği / Turkish Custard Pastry Dessert

Merhaba From Türkiye 👋

First, I'd like to thank you for visiting my blog. Please come back, again and again, to check up on anything beyond Indonesian or Turkish food or something sweet you might love. Your comments and emails brighten my days and make this simple blog thing worthwhile 😍💛

‘Börek’ is usually savory, filled with meat or cheese or even vegetables.
But my today post is one of Turkish dessert called ‘Laz böreği’ (LAHZ’ buer-EY’-ee).
İt’s not savory borek that commonly known.

İt's a sweet dessert, made from layers of phyllo dough ( Türk; baklavalık yufka) and a filled with delish creamy vanilla custard.
The best way to describe ‘Laz böreği’ is like baklava filled with rich vanilla custard instead of pistachio or nuts.


‘Laz’ is the nickname in Turkish given to people from Black sea region - where this dessert comes from

What makes this dessert really unique is its secret ingredient – black pepper! ‘Laz böreği’ made the traditional way, has generous amounts of black pepper added to the custard.
But for my version İ added small pinch of nutmeg powder also to give richness to the custard, you can skip that or try my version.

The recipe is for 30 x 40 cm baking tray, fit with baklava phyllo size. But İf you have a small family member you can half the recipe and cut phyllo in half. So you will need a 15 x 20 cm baking tray.
This dessert best consume while still fresh and crunchy so you don't want too many leftover.

Selam everybody..... Merhaba from Türkiye.

İ love to cook. A lot!

When İ was single, even İ lived alone I tried to cook for myself when İ wasn't too tired from work. Or I cooked mostly at the weekend together with my friends.

And early time I married my husband, İ spent most of my time in kitchen.

Experimented and tried some new recipes İ never cooked before. More over İ should learn how to cook Turkish food for my husband. So kitchen is my new office after İ got married.

Then there come new phase in my life when İ had my baby. İ couldn't stay in my kitchen as much as before.

Things got changed. İ increased my new interest on sewing and crocheting-and my kitchen schedule less and less for new experiment except fast and easy daily meal for us.

Busy in kitchen still my biggest yearning. So as my kid gets bigger, İ try to be busy trial and error for new recipe in the kitchen ( İ finally succeed bake macarons! ... yay! 😄) 

But still İ need to lessen my time in kitchen cause my kid need more attention and more my present. 

Then İ finally manage having fun in kitchen yet still can play with my kid. İ Sometimes bring her to the kitchen to help me - of course an easy part for her 😍
You can see some pictures post of her during makes cake or cookies with me 😊

And now İ found new way to cook fast and serve various menus for my family-- İ make some spices mixture or spice sauce in advance! 
You should check my Yemeni spice Hawaij mix and Turkish spice mix (baharat karışımı) İ posted previously.

And also İ make some frozen friendly recipe --if you are my regular readers you should probably notice that 😃
Check my homemade chicken nugget, shrimps cake "dragon feet", chicken kebab, cheesy chicken balls, and more.

Today İ am going to share my new fave spice; Portuguese Piri Piri sauce.
Chicken and poultry are the most repeatable protein sources in our house, so this piri piri sauce is one of many other chicken meals served on our dinner table.
