I just found your site and my mouth is watering. I spent 5 weeks in Turkey and fell in love with not only the country/people but with the food. I have been craving some lentil soup and was happy to find what I hope is a great recipe.
Another dish that I loved was something called casserole...which was eggplant and tomato and I am not sure what else. It was a vegetarian dish that had such great flavor.
Hi,
I'm glad that you liked Turkish food. This Red Lentil Soup is very
yummy:) And the other recipe you are asking about is Imam Bayildi
(Eggplant with Veggie Filling) which contains eggplant, tomato, onion
and garlic..I have already posted it, here is the address;

I too just found your site. I was in Turkiye last year and fell in love w/ the people and the food as well as the history and culture. And we think that we have a long history of 200 years here in the U.S. Ah well, I digress. A number of the dishes I ran across in Turkiye enthralled me. One was the pureed eggplant served rather like mashed potatoes. Superb! Would that be Hunkar Begendi, I didn't get the name for it while there. Another was the cream cheese consistency thick goat yoghurt. I had to leave or I'd not have been able to fit into ANY of my clothes including my shoes. The tomatoes in Ankara were magnificent, and the curries and stews were wonderful. Do you have a recipe that you could share for the eggplant as well as the yughurt? Great Job on your site. Thanx, Lee
Hi Lee,
I am glad that you have good memories about my country which makes me proud:) I just came back from Istanbul and I almost didn't fit in my pants either:)
I already posted Hunkar Begendi, here is the address:

As for the other recipe, I am not sure which one you are asking. We
have many varieties of appetizers with cheese. But I posted Haydari
with cheese,
Here is the address;
http://www.turkishcookbook.com/2006/07/haydari-with-feta-cheese.php
Also search for 'eggplant' in the search box on the right (scroll a
bit), that will give you more eggplant recipes as I've posted several.
I will post more appetizers in few weeks for Christmas...
I hope this helps:)
Sevgilerimle,
do you any recipes that include brocolli
I will have post some broccoli dishes but they will be in the
International recipes section:)
I love your food blog--I love Turkish food
Hi i'm an English girl who has a Turkish boyfriend. He has lived in England for five years but says he hates English food. All he ever eats is either food from his kebab shop, or home-cooked meals made by his Turkish family members.
I would love to cook something Turkish for him as he worked in restaurants in Istanbul before he came to England and he loves Turkish food, but I just don't know what to do.
I don't really know what he likes, and all I have eaten is something with avacardo and mince that a family member cooked. Where do I start? What do I make? Where do I buy Turkish ingrediants from as sometimes I feel rude as all I can offer him is english food which he always rejects! Please help!!! Thanks xxx
Hi Sarah,
I suggest you cook soup to begin with, like Red Lentil Soup or Yogurt
Soup. I am sure you can find all the ingredients at your local market.
Then check the Lamb & Beef section. I think Tenderloin in the Oven
would be easy to find the ingredients and cook:) For dessert choose
something from the Dairy Desserts section (you can usually cook those
one day before). They are all easy to prepare:) One more thing, make
Carrot Salad, it is very simple and very tasty....don't forget bread or pide, we don't eat food without bread:)
Take care...
Hi Binnur!
I just love Your site. It is very simple and beatiful to look at and You describe everything very detailed.My husband is turkish and loves the food, so do I but I am swedish. It is a bid difference between swedish and turkish food so it is a big help when I want to make something specially for him. Do You know a dish called kuru fasulye? I loved it in Turkey and seems simple to make.I want to thank You very much for the site and Your effort to make it.
Love Susanne in Sweden
Hi Susanne,
Thank you very much for the nice comments:) Kuru Fasulye is a
favourite among Turks, we really love it. If you like kuru fasulye
more mushy, then cook it a little bit more, this is the way I like
it:)
Here it is, under the English name of Kidney Beans with Lamb:

Hope you enjoy it :)
Hi Binnur,
My name is Joy. I've written to you; I'm married to a Turkish man serarching for the raw meatballs recipe. Do you happen to have a recipe for stuffed cabbage and white beans? Please post if you have a chance. Thank you!
Hi Joy,
I just saw your mail and responded :) I don't know which dish you are
asking about with kidney beans (kuru fasulye) but I already posted the very much loved one, here is the address:
http://www.turkishcookbook.com/2006/11/kidney-beans-with-lamb.php
If you check the Turkish part of my site you can find the dishes under
their Turkish names which might help you:)
Hi Binnur,
Your site is really great. I really like begendi but don't know how to make it. Do you happen to have a recipe for it?
Thanks, Lilian
Hi Lilian,
Thank you. I already posted Hunkar Begendi, here is the address;

Hi Binnur, great site. Biber Asi is one of my favourite all-time recipes. Quick, easy, delicious hot or cold dressed up with a little olive oil. Yum!
Hi Helen,
Biber Asi is one of my grandma's recipes which we love..I'm glad you
like it too:)
Merhaba Binnur..
I was wondering if you could please post the recipe for kizartma and tatli...they also have a borek...its patates and it is long but its not sigara..i dont know how to explain it. There is so many foods i could ask you about...i could be sitting here all night asking. Thankyou for your website
Allah iyilik versin

Merhaba Sam,
I've already posted some Kizartma recipes; here are the addresses;

Tatli means Desserts and I've collect them in two sections which are Dessert Recipes
and Dairy Desserts. Which tatli do you want me to post:)
There is so many versions for Borek with Potato, I'll also post them for you soon:)
Merhaba Binnur,
My husband had Turlu at one of the New York restaurants and wants me to make it at home. I searched online but none of the recipes are authored by Turks. Would you be so kind as to post your rendering of Turlu? I trust your recipe will be the best :)
Ellerine Saglik

Hi,
Just found your site. Fantastic! I just came back from Turkey and travelled all over. Fantastic place, great people and delicious food. I only ate Turkish food when i was there and have never felt so healthy! So I was searching for recipes so I could keep up the good work, and here I am. So - thank you! - ALex
Hi Binnur
I've been to Turkey several times and loved the people and the country, but loved the food even more! Have you a potato recipe in a sort of spicy curry sauce? The potatoes were cut like chips and were very tasty, not too hot.
Also, I had mussels stuffed (I think) with tomato cous-cous-recipe?
Many thanks
Jen
Hi Jen,
As you know, there are so many varieties in Turkish cuisine :) I am going to post more recipes in the future. On the site, below the google ads on the right, there's a search box. So you can search on my site if "TC" is selected, it will help you to find any recipe that I posted.
Take care,
Hi Binnur
Thanks for at really good site. I am Danish, married with a Turk, and am hence learning to cook "Turkish style" from scratch.. but you really make it worth while :-)
I wonder if you have a good recipe for Kuru Fasülye? My husband wants one without meat, and which is a bit like soup. I don't know if it is a local dish? He is from Adana - if that helps :-)
I hope you find the time to respond!
Best regards,
Sidse
Hi Sidse,
Thank you:) I've already posted the Kuru Fasulye recipe, here is the address;
http://www.turkishcookbook.com/2006/11/kidney-beans-with-lamb.php
Just don't add the lamb in it. You can always add hot water while you cook the dish. Don't put too much water at the beginning, add while it is cooking. This way it will be more delicious.

Take care,
I just got into your beautiful blog. your recipe is amazing . i'll definitely try ur baklava.do you have recipe for Melike Ruyasi.I'm from Srilanka & i've seen a picture of it without recipe. Thanks.
Hi,
Thank you:) Melike Ruyasi should be the new recipe or the old one with the new version and the new name:) You can ask the owner of the site with the picture for the recipe:)
Merhaba Binnur,
My partners mother makes a soup with Hellim in, and I think with rice or lentils. I can not find a recipe anywhere, and was wondering if you would know what it was.
Tesekkur ederim.
Merhaba,
I think it is her specialty:) I am sure she would be happy to share her recipe with you if you ask her to cook together:)
Sevgilerimle,
Hi Binnur,
I love your website and can't wait to try some real Turkish food again. It's 3 years since my husband & I last went to Turkey, too long! Do you have any recipes with okra or ladies' fingers - is bamiye the correct word? We used to like a dish with lamb & okra, plus other vegetable dishes. Thankyou
Hi Lynne,
Thank you:) You are asking for Okra with Lamb (Etli Bamya). I haven't post it yet but I posted Okra with Chicken. Here it is
http://www.turkishcookbook.com/2006/03/okra-with-chicken.php
As you know, here are so many dishes with the vegetables in Turkish cuisine:) You may find them under the Lamb & Beef or Chicken Recipes sections. I try to post one or two recipes each week so there are so many more on the way:)
