Its Ramadan and one of my favorite appetizers that is easy to make and is always a hit at the dinner table is Turkish cheese Borek. This is my twist on it. I made it today and literally there is non left. Its good for lunch , breakfast, or even a dinner side. I may have filled it too much but there is no such thing as too much filling.

Instead of buying "yufka" to make Börek, make it with your own dough. You can find these bakery products in any international food market. But instead why don't you make your own? These can be frozen after they are cooked and cooled. With this recipe, you will make 24 rose Börek rolls. If you only want to make 12 rolls, use half the ingredients!

"Börek" is the generic name for Turkish pies.There's various kinds of these pies, but this is the most popular.In Turkey, they use flatbread, but in Japan, I make do with spring roll wrappers.The baking dish should be about the size of the spring roll wrappers, but to keep the egg mixture from boiling over, it's best to use a rather tall dish.Other than the spinach and cheese, you can also stuff this with fillings such as white cheese & parsley or ground meat & potato.

Easy recipe that I would love to share

It’s a classic borek type in here. Potatoes, spinach, cheese, leek, or a combination of cheese and a vegetable can be used as filling for the borek. I cheated here and used store bought yufka (phyllo pastry). Normally mom and the other ladies doing this can roll their dough very thinly and make yufkas out of it.

If you have no time make dough , you can use this recipe for "cake taste " quick borek.

I lived in Turkey for a while and really missed this amazing Turkish breakfast staple. After some online research i found this yummy recipe from www.turkishcookbook.com. Thanks to Binnur I don't miss turkish cooking anymore :)

I’ve been working on my baking skills this week, mainly because the holidays are coming up. I haven’t made any Christmas Cookies or Cakes these past few years, so as I’m sitting here thinking what should I add to my Christmas baking list. 🙂I have wanted to make this pastry for a while and I found Semolina at the supermarket so I gave it try yesterday and it turned out so creamy and delicious. This Custard pie a popular breakfast pastry in Greece as the bagel is in the US…:) This pie’s origin is from Northern Greece a city called Serres, and become very popular in Thessaloniki and then expanded to the rest of Greece. It is eaten warm with sugar powder and cinnamon sprinkled all over. Yummmyyyy!!! I forgot to mention that there is also another version of this pastry with a cheese filling.. I have tried it but it reminds me of eating a Cheese puff (Tyropita) rather than the sweet taste of custard…:)You can find shops/bakeries all around Greece that are open from very early in the morning for the morning rush hour, but there are shops that are open 24/7 for those who have been out late night and just wanted to eat something other than Souvlaki :). Just a few ingredients are needed for this delicious sweet pastry. Hope you enjoy 🙂

Whats special about this dish is that its easy to make. Definitely fulfilling and makes a perfect last minute dinner. Also, whatever is left you can freeze for later. Stays up to 2-3 months in the freezer. Did I say its under 30 minutes to make ! Pair it with a salad, rice and sautéed vegetables, or even in a pita 🥙 pocket; the options are infinite.

This is my version of a recipe I saw somewhere once that was good for leftover turkey. I typically use a low-fat ground turkey the rest of the year when Thanksgiving leftovers are not to be had. You'll see I use egg whites or "egg beaters" egg substitute to reduce the fat. Serve with rice pilaf, roasted red potatoes or mashed potatoes. Freeze and reheat in a toaster oven for a quick meal another day. Use gluten-free breadcrumbs if you wish.

If you ask me whats one comfort food that i wont hesitate to eat anyday.. This surely is the one. I mean, C'mon, who doesn't like Biriyani?? A complete meal in itself, has all the aroma that i possibly can imagine.. Just a tempered Raita of your choice, and it's sorted. This has to be my #favourite dish of all.I still remember the day,I made Biriyani for the first time. Gosh, so much nerves I had, I must say .With all those list of ingredients, And num of steps, trick to get the rice "right", Fhewwww...But, I can happily say, I DID IT. Yes, it was a success and since then there was no looking back. Once in a fortnight, I have to make biriyani. That's the demand of my Man, you know.There are various methods of making biriyani.. Everyone must have their signature dish, I believe. Now, this one is mine.
