Drained yoghurt is basically yoghurt put into a muslin cloth and let to drip away some of the liquid (or whey) giving a thicker yoghurt. Hang the yoghurt for about 4 hours.

A yummy Turkish breakfast.

Historical background of Turkish gastronomy from ancient times until today.

Kadinbudu kofte, or as in the literal translation 'Lady’s Thigh Meatballs', is quite a special treat. This tender, juicy kofte has cooked rice in it rather than stale bread.

Stuffed winter greens with ground meat and rice.

This Turkish-style pizza is a Turkish flat bread layered with a pizza style topping.

This is a great Greek/Turkish aubergine (eggplant) dish flavoured with cinnamon. Delicious on its own or with rice or couscous.

Love these little mini pizzas with various fillings. Turks love them for breakfast as well as for a morning or afternoon snack with cup of tea.

These popular Turkish savoury pastries, (Spinach and Cheese Filo Triangles), are delicious and easy.

Oruk, (or Sam Orugu as they are also referred) the baked oval bulgur balls with delicious ground meat and walnuts filling, is a very popular dish.

You will enjoy these delicious rolls with Turkish pastirma, dried cured beef with spicy coating, cheese and vegetables. They are great served as mezzes, appetizers, part of a weekend brunch or a delicious snack.

Great for a Turkish breakfast.
