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".

Noodles are a type of food made from unleavened dough which is rolled flat and cut, stretched or extruded, into long strips or strings. Noodles can be refrigerated for short-term storage or dried and stored for future use. Noodles are usually cooked in boiling water, sometimes with cooking oil or salt added

Generally, noodles made from wheat flour and water. Salt is sometimes added, and cornstarch is sprinkled on fresh noodles to keep them from sticking together. Egg noodles or dan mian, occasionally flavored with shrimp and yellowish in color, are popular in southern China.

Other types of noodles made with rice flour (cellophane noodles/ vermicelli) or mung bean flour (glass noodles). Soba noodles made from buckwheat flour, wheat flour, and water.

During this time, we can find many variants of these noodles. For example, vermicelli (rice noodles) can be found in many colors and flavors. Or egg noodles, we can enrich it with so many flavors and adding colors.

Check my previous Spinach egg noodle for smuggling vegetables in your noodles and you will love the vibrant green color of it.

But if you want plain noodles, you can check my previous Chewy Homemade noodles here.

And today I will share egg noodles using beetroot for coloring the noodles. You can not taste the beetroot in it, it just gives a vibrant beautiful red color for your noodles. I bet your kids would love it!

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيم

السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ

Merhaba dari Türki semuanya 👋

Terima kasih udah mampir kemari ya. Boleh kok tinggalkan kesan dan pesan di kolom komen dibawah... Saya akan sangat-sangat berterima kasih dan makin semangat update-update 💟

Oh iya.. jangan lupa untuk subscribe youtube channel saya dan aktifkan tanda bell nya untuk dapat video resep baru saya ya.

Tiap kondisi orang juga macam-macam ya. Ada yang sudah tinggal puluhan tahun di negeri pemakan pokok non beras, tapi tetap kalau gak makan nasi katanya gak makan. Hal begitu juga wajar saja karena mungkin kondisi dia berbeda. Kan ada tuh, satu keluarga berasal dari Indonesia (negara Asia) tapi tinggal di negara pemakan roti-misalnya..tentu saja susah karena seluruh anggota keluarga pemakan nasi 😃

Ada juga yang memang susah kalau tidak makan nasi walau seluruh keluarga dan lingkungan pemakan pokok non beras... Ada, balik ke pribadi masing-masing ya.

Sudah lebih dari 10 tahun tinggal di Turki, selera saya sudah mulai bisa beradaptasi. Cuman makan roti seharian dengan masakan khas sini sudah biasa. Pokoknya kalau perut sudah kenyang, ya udah, mau roti, kentang, pasta atau gandum, ya udah gak perlu makan nasi kalau tak ada 😊

Adaptasi memang kan salah satu kemampuan dari manusia ya.. bisa menyesuaikan diri dengan lingkungan tinggal kita. Beras sebagai makanan pokok orang Indonesia tergolong mahal disini. Jadi saya mau gak mau juga kudu menyesuaikan dengan kondisi semacam itu. Walau memang kadang sesekali pengen juga makan nasi dengan lauk khas kampung halaman.

Naahh...seperti beberapa hari yang lalu, pas bongkar-bongkar kulkas, ketemu petis yang saya simpan udah lama. Mumpung masih bagus akhirnya saya masak aja

Banana is always there in my table or my refrig. It's like a must fruit for every house because it fulls of benefits for our body.

There are hundreds of articles you can read about banana around the internet, magazine, or at the libraries.

A little bit about this humble fruit, bananas are known to reduce swelling, protect against developing Type 2 diabetes, aid in weight loss, strengthen the nervous system, and help with the production of white blood cells, all due to the high level of vitamin B6 that bananas contain.

Eating a banana between meals helps stabilize blood sugar and reduce nausea from morning sickness.

Bananas are high in antioxidants, providing protection from free radicals and chronic diseases.

That is why we should have bananas at home, every day. But sometimes we have an overripe banana on the table and we are not in the mood eating it. It happened to me a lot. Sometimes I froze it then end up making Double Chocolate banana muffin.

Or if you have overripe bananas and you love steamed cake, you should try my Steamed Banana Cake. Or try simple yet delicious snacks like Banana Fritters.

And today I will share my other favorite recipe using this favorite banana; Banana Chiffon Cake from (left-over egg white). So this recipe is a "keeper", especially for you who has much leftover egg white in your refrigerator. 

For other inspiration or ideas on how to finish up your leftover egg whites, you can click on my "Eggwhite" category here. 

Even make from just egg whites, I assure you this banana chiffon is delicious and full of flavor because banana enriches the taste and flavor on this spongy cotton soft cake. This cake also perfect for our tea/ coffee time, it soft and will not make you full because it is very light in texture.

Just like other European countries, bread is a staple for Turkish. Turkish people eat bread (turkçe: ekmek) start from breakfast to dinner. Bread is of such importance in Turkey that even to throw bread is an insult. No bread should ever go to waste

We eat bread with a slice of white cheese, dip it into olive oil for breakfast, spread with jam or tomato paste (salça). Eat with Turkish sucuk (dry spicy sausage) and eggs or just simply dip into a creamy soup.

Bread in Turkish culture varies according to the region, the way it is cooked, and its ingredients. Dor an example; Trabzon bread, one of the famous bread from Black Sea region. It differs from other bread it has long making process. 

There is also "bazlama" which is famous from Ankara. It's a single-layered, flat, circular, and leavened bread with a creamy yellow color, found in Turkey. It has an average thickness of 2 cm and diameters ranging from 10 to 25 cm, cook over pan instead of baking in the oven.
I will share this "bazlama" bread next time.

Gömeç ekmek (gömeç bread) also call "breakfast break (kahvaltı ekmeği), a specialty from Konya Province. It's a flatbread similar to ramazan pide (but different). Traditionally made by a group of women and bake in the public stone oven similar to the tandoori oven.

Pineapple tarts cookies are one of Indonesian traditional (and some neighboring countries) cookies that are commonly made and served during religious holidays 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.
In Indonesia it is called nastar which is the contraction of nanas tart (Ananas or pineapple tart).

Most of nastar in Indonesia have a round shape with a diameter of about 2 centimeters. The pineapple jam is filled inside instead of spread on top. The cookie is often decorated with small pieces of cloves or raisins on top of it.

We are never bored of it because we can vary it as much as we can. Just check my COOKİES CATEGORY to see my "nastar" variations. You can make many variations base on shape and filling. Adding some cheese into the dough definitely enriches the taste of this classic Indonesian cookies. 💙
