There are some recipes which can bring back so many memories. I remember one special thing that my greatgranny Mary was cooking. The best buckwheat pie ever. Well i am not a big fan of buckwheat but it really works well in this pie. Falling in love with homemade pastry more and more....

Gastronomy festival

 One week of gastronomy festival in Istanbul was much fun. It is a pity that i could catch it just on the last day.  Sharing some pics from this fest. Frankly speaking it was the first time i saw such diversity of bread and i simple fell in love with it. I wish we could have such a bakery in my neighbourhood well one day i am sure i will open one;)))

Being ill

Every timew when ı am ill it teaches me a lesson how precious is every moment of being healthy. Sometime we forget it while chasing illusionary daily needs...

Taksim's reflections

I have a friend who visited  Taksim around two years ago and discussing this part of Istanbul we concluded  that there were not so many things to do besides shopping. This superficial conclusion was eradicated when I visited Taksim last weekend. Having a quiet walk along the narrow streets  discovering local treasures in the hidden corners, taking photos of details made me  think that you are eyes should be always open to see the real beauty, the beauty of authenticity ...

Long time

Winter time and the desire to sit at home with many cups of tea grows stronger... A pile of books around and a folder with movies is my reality of winter 2014. Regular experiments  in the kitchen and the couple of online courses provoke me to rethinking, digesting  and sharing of what ı am up to these couple of months... In a nutshell ı am back again;)
