Turkey has been on my radar in recent months.
Some friends are heading there in May
(slight possibility I'll join em, but
holy double college tuitions, Batman!).
with its recipes and tales
by
Leanne Kitchen
sucked me right in.
Homemade Pasta with Arugula, Feta, Walnuts and Herbs
I'm so making this...though I may substitute
my own tried and true, no fail, recipe for the pasta.
Is this flirty pomegranate gel beauty
not a perfect sweet treat
for a girlfriends' night in?
Remember, we're in Turkey.
So that's fairy floss on top,
not cotton candy, dude.
Swordfish Kebabs with Celeriac, Orange and Walnut Salad
You had me at swordfish, Leanne.
Mouth is watering.
Where I live, an uncomplicated all-in-one baked
dish is a casserole (or hot dish if you live further north).
In Turkey, it's a guvec.
Shrimp Guvec
How can shrimp with sweet peppers, tomatoes,
herbs, and feta be anything but scrumptious?
(Chronicle, 2011)
Feelin the southeastern Europe/southwestern Asia
world of Turkish food now?
from the back cover
and remember to invite me to your kitchen
or any soiree for that matter,
or any soiree for that matter,
where fairy floss is involved.
Peace to you right where you are.
