Orange Swiss Roll Cake from egg white / Bolu gulung dari putih telur

Roll Cake agaaiinnn..! and yes...it's about orange still. After I made Orange Curd a day before I still have some orange left in my fridge. And also I have some left over egg white. Usually I made macarons with my left over egg white.. but I run out almond flour and I hesitate to grind my almond to make my own almond flour.


It's rainy and cold week end. Spring's rain getting more often these weeks, and sun more often out off the shadow of the clouds... I just love this transition time...And after this I can see many flower blooming everywhere...and what I love here in Turkey... Tulips everywhere..!!! Colorful and just beautiful ^,^
I just can't wait to welcoming summer already...

Even start from this Sunday,29 March, time changing to summer time. It means we turn clock one hour forward. It's about Daylight saving time (DST). For you who live in country which never use this DST-Just like me before- you can  read more about it here
Now I am 4 hour different only to my homeland Indonesia (^,^)  It's making us easier to arrange time if we want to make video conference between us here in Turkey and my family in Indonesia.

Orange Curd Recipe and seasonal Table list for fruits, vegetables and fish


Today I went to traditional market (turkish=pazar). In my neighborhood traditional market open every Wednesday. I had no idea what to buy because you know in Turkey (maybe in other 4 seasons country) people sell and buy what's in season. Me as tropical  person still hardly to adapt my mind on it-even I'm living here for 6 years! 
But for few things I already kept on my mind when it's really season so I can stock them as much as I can..what is that? Chilliiieees..!! Yes, I can not eat without chilly (^,^)
So I knew when chilly season start and when it's becoming very cheap.

Below my post I have a roughly estimate list what is in season. That table list actually for my self to reminder if I need to make/ cook/ baking something.

 And today in pazar I saw many cheap orange. Orange, as grapefruits and quince has peak season on January or February... I don't know if it's good orange or not since it's actually end of it's season..but I bought them anyway one kilo only for 1 TL. Still didn't know to do with those oranges until I saw my lemon curd on fridge. I made lemon curd often cause I love lemon so much and I can find fresh lemon almost everyday.

Kıymalı börek (Turkish style minced meat pasty)


Merhaba From Türkiye 👋

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

Börek in Turkish refers to any meal made from Yufka (phyllo dough). Thinly rolled pastry, often the paper-thin variety known as yufka, is wrapped around various savory fillings or arranged in layers . The myriad types of börek are unmatched delicacies when cooked to perfection. Boreks can be fried, baked, cooked on a griddle or boiled. Traditionally it was said that no girl should marry until she had mastered the art of börek making. Preferred fillings are cheese, minced meat, spinach and potatoes. In the form of rolls filled with cheese or minced meat mixtures and fried, böreks are known as "Sigara (cigarette) boregi". Böreks should be light and crisp, without a trace of excess oil.

Börek's type also named by it shape... Like I made today known as Kol böreği  is prepared in long rolls, either rounded or lined. Generally filled with minced meat or you can vary them with feta cheese, spinach or others. This Börek is commonly eaten during breakfast or brunch with hot Turkish-style tea or with ayran.

Now I will share my recipe how to make this Börek at home

 Ingredients for filling:
- about 500 gr minced meat (you can use beef or lamb)
- 2 big onions, finely chopped
- 2 stalks of leek, finely chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tbsp butter
