Turkish food


If there is something that I cannot complain about in Turkey, that's food. Fresh tasty fruit, vegetables, herbs and spices at affordable prices. The Turkish cuisine is excellent and there is such a variety. I heard that there are at least 40 recipes for aubergine. I also heard, that at the Black Sea, which is famous for its anchovy, they even have a recipe for a dessert made of anchovy! It's a shame that many people think the main Turkish food is kebab.
Unfortunately, they've discovered artificial fertilisers! But still, compared to Germany, for example, food is still very inexpensive and tasty.

I know how you feel about that, Nergiz. My students all seem to think that American food consists of hamburgers and Coke. They think we all eat this stuff every day!

Hi Nina,

I know, in 2003, I stayed in San Diego with an American family. She cooked wonderful food and wanted me to know that Americans do actually cook :-)
Thanks for dropping by, Nina.

Hi Nina, hi Dennis

Nina, after talking to you in TappedIn on Sunday, I had a craving for Köfte. So, today, I made some. They were delicious.
I also made salad:

Ingredients:
Celery root
Carrots
Parsley
Garlic
Yoghurt
Salt

Grate the celery and carrots. Add the finely chopped parsley and garlic. Add the yoghurt and salt. That's it. Simple, fast and delicious.

Dennis, I agree. All the recipes look good. For me, the pictures are very important when trying out recipes.
