Cold Stone Creamery – Tim Hortons

Obur Kedi — Sun, 09 May 2010 08:27:16 +0000

I just finished my Coffee Lovers Only signature ice cream from Cold Stone Creamery. It had been a while since I last ate my favorite ice cream. It was one of the tastes I missed since I moved out of the States.

When I was ordering and getting permission to shoot a video about their signature ice [...]

Feta Cheese

Beyaz Peynir

Feta cheese was a must in my breakfasts and snacks before I came to the North America. In my first couple of months it was the thing I missed most. Finally I found some feta cheese in Oriental markets; however, those were usually expensive. Before leaving Turkey, I did not even think about making feta [...]

Ev Yapımı Çikolatalı Yumuşak Şekerleme

Last week I saw this fudge recipe at the vegetarian section of the About.com. It looked like really easy as the name suggested, so I decided to try.

It turned out that the recipe is really easy and delicious. Since I am not a vegan, I adapted the recipe with the ingredients I [...]

Kremalı Mantar Çorbası

For a long time, preparing a creamy mushroom soup meant heating up a can of mushroom soup to me.

It was until a dinner party last summer that I taught the mushroom soup is one of those soups that requires a lot of time to prepare if you want to prepare it from scratch. [...]

Falafel

Falafel

I was asked to make falafel for a quite some time now. I do not like using pre-made mixtures, and even though I did not look for a recipe earlier, I was sure that it was not that hard to cook falafel at home from scratch.

I searched recipes online, then I turned to one of my [...]

Hummus

Humus

A couple of days ago, I tried to make falafel at home. After cooking the chickpeas, I decided to bake the falafel, instead of fry them. I halved the recipe, in case the baked falafel was dry and not so good. I used the leftover chickpeas to prepare hummus.

Hummus, which means chickpeas in Arabic, is a [...]

Sandviç

Did you try a sandwich made with a freshly cooked Turkish home bread?

I used my favorite fillings: tomato, cucumber, parsley, lettuce, just a little olive oil and oregano. Try with your own choice of fillings.

The ingredients, and preparation of the bread is same as the Turkish home bread except the flattening part. Flatten the dough until [...]
