Selam Everybody..... Merhaba from Turkey...

Same as bread, pide is a staple dish in Turkey. People eat pide anytime, anywhere.  Pide is a Turkish pizza look a like-with Turkish flair. It has a chewy texture rather than 'bread-y'.

With typical distinctive charcoal aroma from traditional stone oven pide easily can be found in every corner in Turkey. The topping and filling can be vary in each regions.

If you are my regular reader you should already know very well that I made and post many pide recipes. Because as I mentioned earlier this famed Turkish dish is a staple and daily meal here. I like pide especially with meat topping. I made pide at least once in week for our dinner or lunch.

Generally we eat pide with simple salad like mix of lettuce, tomatoes, green onion, olive or other vegetables, with simply olive oil, salt and lemon dressing. Or sometime with Ezme (similar to meze). Also to complete the whole dish we serve Ayran for the drink.

You can find pide salonu/ pide restorant with stone oven like this in every corner in Turkey

Strawberry Galette

Selam Everybody... Merhaba from Turkey...

I like galette. No.. I love it! Especially fruity galette for dessert. The combination from flaky buttery crust and fresh fruits as topping is my number one list for my afternoon tea time. 
And also it's perfect for our after dinner dessert cause it's fresh and light. Mostly I serve it with yummy creamy kaymak (Turkish clotted cream), but sometimes with simple vanilla ice cream. Or you can serve it with whipped cream, YUM!

Beside sweet galette for dessert, we can make a savory one as well with a vary of topping, my most fave is cheese combine with any vegetables and sausage. 
But today I want to make a strawberry galette. I already made my homemade flaky pie crust a day before, so it's gonna be easy to go.
You can check my recipe for flaky pie crust here. But feel free to use your own pie crust recipe. Another idea is you can use pastry puff dough as well.

Turkish Leek Pastry borek / Pırasa Böreğı. If you want to experience Mediterranean- middle east cuisine, start with this simple Pırasa Böreğı, you are going to love it! #leek #börek #burek #phyllopastryrecipe #turkishfood #turkishborekpastry #citrashomediary #maindish #sidedish #mediterranean #middleeast #ayran #yoghurt

Börek (Turkish pronunciation: [bøˈɾek]; also burek and other variants) is a family of baked filled pastries made of a thin flaky dough known as phyllo (or yufka), found in the cuisines of the former Ottoman Empire. A börek may be prepared in a large pan and cut into portions after baking, or as individual pastries. The top of the börek is often sprinkled with sesame seeds.


Here in Turkey we have many kind of börek with many filling or shape variations. Also each region has it own typical börek. You can check my börek recipe at böreklar category list

I bought some bunchs of leek from farmer market a day before, so today I make another Pırasa Böreğı or Turkish Leek Pastry börekPırasa means leek in Turkish. It's a börek filled with chopped leek. Different from my previous leek borek, I make this börek with sauce or in Turkish we call it terbiye.

This sauce makes börek soft so gives such a chewy texture on phyllo sheet, just like my husband's prefer. 
Making this börek is very easy than you think. Just prepare your yufka phyllo sheets, brush it with the sauce, sprinkle with filling, roll then slide to oven. That's it.

Serve this börek with salad and ayran drink. Mostly I serve with light soup or çorba as an entree.

Flaky Pie Crust - basic dough

Selam Everybody....Merhaba from Turkey...

Spring is coming. And I love farmer market at spring. Berries! of course some other lovely fruits as well, but berries is most favorite for me.
And it means I'm gonna make some pies these weeks. Yup.. light, healthy and yummy dessert. 

That's why today I make some flaky pie crust in ahead. I use all butter and no shortening for my pie crust because it's very hard to find shortening in local market. If you want to mix this recipe with shortening, use 50:50 of butter and shortening.


Make sure to use good quality of butter cause it really affect the taste and the smell. I use traditional homemade butter for my recipe--just like I always did. It's very much satisfied me. I bought my butter from local farmer market in my neighborhood.

Unlike from my previous pie crust, today i make it manually, no food processor. I just want to taste the different of using processing and manual way.
But for you who want to make it with food processor, you can scroll down a bit to see how to make with processor.

Selam every one...Merhaba from Turkey.

Are you "facebookholic"? ... Sorry for my term. I mean do you often read the news story on  front wall shared by your facebook friends and all of sudden you find your self on somewhere inside cyberspace....It is fun, but sometimes we forgot how long we've been there ... oh..no..no..no..If already at that stage where we forget the time ... stop it. Off-connect and re-connect with the real world.



A few days ago, I accidentally read a news feed Shared by a friend on FB about dangers of preservatives in food-which is impossible may not be used in the fast food industry or frozen food. yeahhh... of course in their advertisement they will not mentioned or even denied it.. Do you believe that?

Imagine if (even) small amount of substance x we ​​consumed continuously year after year ... Imagine also if our young children began to consume it at their early age.....

To be frankly, before marriage and life as a single, away from my family, ready meals and frozen nearly my every day menu. At that time, of course I am aware of the dangers of the materials x, y, z which might be in these foods, not to mention the quality of the ingredients used, whether fresh or good condition and so on. What to do, I live alone, cooking was a big effort for me ... maybe you understand what I mean.

But after getting married ... I changed completely. Not only health reasons I mentioned above, also is more economical, and there's "romantic bonding" when my husband and I ate my cooking or his cooking ...or sometimes we cook together at the weekend ... And when my child comes in our life, giving her the best in all things is our obsession-including her meals.

Anywwaaaayyy.... with homemade meal, you can control the ingredients you use.. quality and price... And heyy.. homemade is cheaper!


My today's post  is homemade Chicken nuggets. I mix vegetables too in this chicken nuggets...you know I always try to "hide" vegetables in my kid's meal as much as I can...
You should try this also to add new lunch box idea or just for kid's snacking time... ^,^

Kıymalı Pide / "Turkish pizza" dengan topping daging khas Turki for Idfb challenge Mar'16

For recipe in English please visit here.






Assalamu'alaikum...... Merhaba dari Turkey...

Postingan hari ini it's all about remake... Maksudnya bikin ulang makanan yang biasa kita nikmati di restoran. Karena tulisan ini saya sertakan untuk Indonesian Food Blogger Food Challenge dengan tema "Remake"
Untuk kalian para foodie yang pengen join challenge food bulan Maret ini bisa gabung di link Idfb sini.

Well... membuat makanan homemade bukan lagi hal yang jarang saya lakukan. Sejak tinggal di sebuah kota bernuansa tradisional dimana rata rata masyarakat lokal terbiasa menyajikan produk homemade bagi keluarga. Dan hampir semua yang tersaji di meja makan keluarga Turki adalah hasil olahan sendiri, maksud saya SEMUA! 
Serius. Mulai dari yogurt, keju, pasta tomat, pasta cabe, pickles/ acar, mayonese dan produk olahan lainnya. Kita senang sekali membuatnya di rumah!

Termasuk makanan lokal yang banyak disajikan di rumah makan siap saji atau restoran. Para wanita Turki senang sekali memasaknya dengan versi homemade. Karena setiap selesai menyantap makanan, setiap anggota keluarga akan memberikan ucapan terimakasih berupa "doa" kepada yang memasaknya dengan ucapan: "ellerinize sağlık" yang kurang lebih berarti "semoga tangan(mu) diberi kesehatan" ... Such a lovely thing isn't it? ^,^

Selam everybody..... Merhaba from Turkey....

If you see my recently posts are orange-y .... yellow or orange color..sometime mix with chocolate.... cause there is no other reason other than because I love citrus! 

And don't you think it also festive the spring, isn't it? And this blood orange is so trending in my local market. Every where I saw many booths selling this orange with cheap price..
I think it's a citrus peak.

And since I love citrus (who doesn't?) I use them in almost every meals I made....
You can find my recipe using this lovely color fruits start from main dish to dessert in "Orange" Ingredients list

The color of this blood orange is dark orange almost red. It's catch my attention maybe because I never find this kind of orange in my homeland... find more about blood orange here.
