    I learned to make Turkish food for my husband ✨ what dish should I make next?

    Hello everyone! It’s been a year since I’ve posted and here’s an update what I learned so far.
    In my previous post I’ve asked you guys to recommend me some dishes for me to learn. I have made most of it, there are still some in my list.

    Previous Post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Turkey/s/ZhjJzc3Dda

    All the recipes I followed are Turkish Youtubers, and then I had it translated in English.
    Thankgosh for chatgpt I used it to convert the recipes into grams. 😭 it really helped me so much. The glasses and tea cup wasn’t really accurate for me 😂 i am grams person.
    (I hope you guys are okay with my doodles … I was really bored and wanted to doodle some of the photos. )

    1st Photo: Sarma (recipe is by my yenge) My yenge is known to make the best sarma in our family. I asked my yenge if she could teach me. I made it for my husband and then for my dad in law. My dad was really amazed and especially his friends haha It’s quite easy to make, just the rolling takes a lot of time.

    2nd photo: İskender (Sauce recipe by Hatay Sandik ici) There’s a butchershop I really like to go and it’s turkish owned. Thankfully they carry the meat there. I just followed the recipe by that youtuber. I cooked then grilled the meat afterwards.

    3rd photo: Ramazan Pidesi (Recipe by HayalimdekiYemekler) I had great success with her Çiğ köfte recipe and her recipe looked the best for the pide. I really like it, it’s very soft and it goes so well with the İskender.

    4th photo: Kazandibi (Recipe by TarifSokagii) This is my 3rd attempt making Kazandibi. I also used vanilla bean I find using vanilla bean pods gives a nice vanilla flavor into the Kazandibi. I made this for my mom-IL & my brother-IL. I was so happy when I finally got that caramelize color I wanted. You can see in my previous post I made Kazandibi and It didn’t look as nice as this one. I am so proud of myself with this.

    5th photo: Sütlaç (Recipe by Sefaokyaykilic)
    I also added vanilla bean into this. I know it isn’t necessary. Mainly I find it gives a nice flavor than extract does. My husband really loved it as Sütlaç is his most favorite turkish dessert.

    6-7th photo: Manti (recipe by Kırmızı Lezzetler) If you plan to make fresh manti at home! I really recommend this recipe. I did accidentally roll it a bit thinner than I wanted it >

    For the yoghurt sauce I did 1 minced garlic, pinch of salt, add little water to the yoghurt.

    For the buttery paprika sauce in a saucepot on low heat ~ I add 1tbsp Olive Oil, 1 tbsp of butter and 2 tbsp tomato paste and half a tbsp of paprika paste and 1tsp of pepper flakes and half of tea cup of water then mix. Heat until everything is combined.

    8- 35) Yufka (Recoeney by PayyLayile pyager

    I made it before dinner time haha that’s why I made kofte on the side. NGL yufka is the most challenging for me haha It took some time I do feel that I need more practice with the rolling technique so I can make baklava with fresh yufka next time. I also want to make sobiyet with it~

    11th Photo:
    Tavuk Tantuni (Recipe by Anteplifatosunmutfagi)
    Lavash (Recipe by HungryManKitchen)
    In my previous post I made tantuni using beef and a commenter suggest I also make a chicken one! I really like that it’s also high protein haha I also made Süt mısır on the side. It was corn season that time. I simmered corn cob in a pot of milk for 7 mins and then grill it and coat it with melted butter.

    12th Photo: Lahmacun (Recipe by HilalinMutfagi)
    This is my 4th attempt making Lahmacun. I always struggle making Lahmacun >.< !! This was the best I could do, I do want to keep trying. The taste is really good and the same as Lahmacun should. It’s just presentation is never how I want it to be. I think I did okay, but I want to try again until it also looks the same.

    13th Photo: İçli köfte (Recipe Emine2015)
    A lot of you guys recommend this to me oh my goodness. It’s really good I ate so much that day haha

    14th Photo: Kuşbaşılı pide (recipe by GülMutfaktaa)
    In my previous post I made chicken + sucuk pide. I was recommend to use beef next time. My husband bought home steak for me and I made pide with it haha The texture of the pide was so crisp! I even filmed how crunchy it was. It was perfect.

    15th Photo: İrmik helva dondurma (Recipe by Hatay Sandik ici) I do recommend to use less sugar if you plan to use his recipe for this. I made this with my sister in law and we added pistachios on top. The Maraş is storebought though. I do want to make my own icecream one day but I cannot find Salep anywhere >__< ;;

    16th photo: Yozgat Arabaşı (recipe by Mileksuelinden)
    I get asked in my other social media why I made this. My Turkish neighbor made it for me once and then My uncleIL wife also made it for me when I visit my grandma IL. I find the dish so comforting and I really loved it. Thats why I wanted to learn it so bad 🤭✨

    17th Photo: Pastane Simit & Menemen (Recipe by Chef Oktay Usta) I orginally wanted to make Istanbul simit but once I baked it I realized it didn’t look like it at all haha and not only that it was so soft and pillowy ~ so yeah.. haha It tasted it nice though! I made the menemen too much egg 😂 normally i never mess up because its so easy for this dish. I accidentally put too much egg

    18th photo: Çiğ köfte is my most loved turkish dish for me haha I am so proud of it that I brought it over to my mom in law and my brothers to try. My dad also ate it all haha It really means a lot to see my family loving the turkish food I made for them. The recipe is also by HayalimdekiYemekler. I do suggest to put less spice than her recipe. Some may find it too spicy.

    ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

    what dish should i make next? This is whats in my list so far.

    (Kayseri Yağlama, Su Böreği, Baklava with homemade Yufka, Adana Kebab, Çökertme Kebab, Yayla Soup, Lentils ..)

    Btw. my husband doesn’t like eggplant and beans haha i do get recommend to make eggplant a lot but only I will eat it haha
    I do want to make Kokoreç but the meat doesn’t exist in here haha i don’t think I can ever make it 🥹✨

    A really random question: I have a family member visiting Türkiye. I want to buy more pure isolate whey. Isolate Whey cost a lot around 90 euros for 2500g. I want to ask if it’s cheaper to buy it in Türkiye and what website/brand that is good I can buy online?

      I was going to say kayseri yağlama but it’s already in your list. try hünkar beğendi. it is heavenly.

    5. nebasaran on

      They all look delicious!
      You can try Biber Dolması & Şekerpare for the next dinners!

    9. Hollowfied9 on

      I honestly don’t know what to say lol. Every single one of them looks spectacular, authentic and insanely delicious. Your husband is a lucky man. May all of us meet people like you who goes the extra mile to make their partners happy/ier.

      Total respect for your effort.

    10. CryNightmare on

      I would continue with dolma especially onion one. There are different kinds of it that has modified recipes for each base vegetable. For example onion one is more sour than the other kinds like pepper or eggplant or zucchini.

      Btw I really loved the little melody figure

    11. GameQx on

      Maybe more vegan dishes and some meze. There is a youtube channel called hermann. You can try his recipes

      Adamdaki şansa bak

      Nazarlar deymesiiiin sizeeee Very well done! It looks great, i am sure alot of dudes are very jelly right now!! :)))

    14. Marius_Sulla_Pompey on

      Alright gurl! That’s like 200 times more than any turkish women do in the kitchen.

    18. venomousfrogeater on

      Try revani and kalburbasti my favourite treats. Also as a meal you can make shis kebab urfa or adana style.

    27. viou on

      My absolute favourites : Beyti kebap, su böregi (I’m doing it this week end), kiremit kofte (comfort food)

      Potatoes köfte are a bit of a hassle but considering the amount of work you’re putting in, it’ll be nothing to you :’)
      Your husband is one lucky bastard.

    29. Montezumawazzap on

      Are you single? /s

      Maybe some soup like Tarhana or Mercimek.

      If you want him to eat eggplant, you might want to fry it first to eliminate the bitterness. Then make it like a regular meal with some minced meat.

    32. Buccaratiszipper on

      I lost it after arabaşı çorbası lol. You’re already on the peak of Turkish cuisine. Jk aside they all look so delicious, best wishes to you and your husband 😁

    34. ClockwiseServant on

      Karnıyarık, İslim Kebabı, Hasanpaşa Köftesi, Biber Dolması, Domates Dolması are all I think perfect next steps

    35. tivcx on

      I remember seeing you on tiktok! I’m glad you shared these on this sub, you deserve all the praise!!

    38. anniejcannon on

      Try Fellah Kofte. He will be super surprised. Underrated, super tasty dish. If you like sarma you will definitely like it.

    40. Sasniy_Dj on

      They look absolutely incredible, you made them look better than the same dishes in restaurants

    42. One-Life-9281 on

      amkkk hayata bak be, söyle bisey icin ailemin tüm servetini harcarım aq sonrasında da karımın yaptıgı acılı cig köfteyi yiyip acık ayran icerim

    43. nordicskye on

      Sis, if he does a wife like you wrong just say the word, we’ll ride at dawn 🐎🐎🐎

    47. oldyellowcab on

      Most of these are advanced foods to prepare. I don’t know how they taste, but they look fantastic. I’m impressed. Congrats! 👏👏👏

    48. Awkward-Patient-3293 on

      looks delicious, elinize sağlık. but wym “converted into grams”? what youtubers do you follow that don’t use grams? 😅
