Broad bean hummus
Dried broad beans; 1 cup
Onion; half
Tahini; 2 tablespoons
Lemon Juice; 1 teaspoon
Vinegar; 1 tablespoon
Olive oil; 2 tablespoon
Garlic; 2 cloves, peeled
Salt; to your taste
• Boil the broad beans with half an onion until they are very soft.
• Drain its water and add the garlic, olive oil, tahini, lemon juice and vinegar. Blend it until you have a smooth texture.
• Your hummus is ready. When serving it, you can use the back of a spoon to make a crater and add a generous amount of olive oil, red pepper, parsley and pickles if you like to.
Fava
Dried broad beans; 500 gr
Onions; 2 small, cut in half lengthways
Olive oil 1/3 cups-80 ml
Salt; 1-heaped teaspoon
Sugar; 1 teaspoon
Drinking water; 1.4 litres
To garnish
Dill; 4 sprigs, finely chopped
Crispy onion- if you have at home
Fresh olive oil
• Place in the broad beans and the onions in the pressure cooker.
• Fill with soft drinking water. The water should be 2-3 cm higher than the beans.
• Close the lid and cook until the pressure gets high, cook 5 minutes and open the lid. If you don’t have a pressure cooker, the water you add should be 4 cm above the beans and you’ll need to cook them for about 10-15 minutes until they soften.
• Then add olive oil, sugar, and salt. Use a hand blender to make it silky smooth.
• Take the dish or bowl that you want your fava to take the shape of, pour some olive oil and rub so that the fava would be able to slide once it is cold.
• Place the mixture in the dish. First, allow it to cool at room temperature. Once cool, refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• Your fava is now ready to be turned! It will look and taste great.
• This is my go-to substitute when I’m craving cheese or when I need a simple dish that will keep me full, guilt free…. Hope you give it a try and it becomes one of your favourites too.
Easiest Cypriot Broad Beans
Dried broad beans; 1 cup
Drinking water; for boiling
Garlic; 2 cloves, peeled
Olive oil; 3 tablespoons
Vinegar; 3 tablespoons
Lemon juice; a few drops
Salt; to your taste
This is the one of the simplest dishes. But actually this is how Cypriots eat many goodies.
Boil and add olive oil, garlic, lemon juice or/and vinegar to your taste.
• Boil the broad beans with drinking water. Cook for 5-6 minutes after it starts to bubble, until the beans start to soften and taste okay to eat. Boiling time for dried beans can vary, so check its softness.
• Drain the beans and transfer to the serving dish.
• Smash and puree the garlic cloves and add to the beans with vinegar, olive oil, salt, and lemon juice. Give it a mix.
• Eat it as soon as possible. I must say this becomes something else if it sits in the refrigerator overnight. My cousins also love eating this with black or green olives. As I said, these guys are Cypriots and they know about great food!
My father is a 91 year old Greek Cypriot who absolutely loved having the broad beans made for him whenever he went back to Cyprus. Only my aunt could make it for him and used her fresh broad beans. She also added chopped onions on top. I never learnt to make it until I watched your video today. I live in the UK where we’re still in lockdown in my area. I will try to get a bag of frozen broad beans and make this for him. Thank you for sharing such a n old fashioned, but classic Cypriot recipe with us. Bless you and stay safe and virus free
It is nice to hear your fathers stroy. ı wish him more healthy happy years with you.
In fact we also add onions on top :) Some people cook like Refika more thick and with shape. But some people cook like pure, paste ( like humus ) and put chopped onion on top. And i like with the onion too like your Father :)
Best wishes to your dad. How much are frozen broad beans in the UK?
@@paulJkiely Approximately £1.85/ kg though I could probably get them cheaper if I go to Aldi or Lidl.
@@magdamanoli8753 oh that’s very reasonable. Not so easy to get in Hong Kong. I bought a 200 gm bag of frozen Japanese Fava Beans and spent the equivalent of £2.50 .
Can find them in the markets in their pods but not always available.
@@ahmetdagdelen6180 I'm of Italian origin& we also make the beans olive oil & with raw onion on top.& Fennel leaves as well
I'm a 63 year old vegan and appreciate you sharing these recipes with your audience. It adds to my and many others repertoire.
I think the 👍🏼 like button does not do any justice for your channel a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ will be the perfect 👌🏼 fit. Thank you for the recipes
Right👍love her recipes so much.Thank you
I'm learning so much about Turkish foods and Turkey in general (my education is sorely lacking in World History, and I'm making up for it by watching food videos from around the world!)
I am in the United States, and I think immersion blenders (also called stick blenders or hand blenders) are fairly common, I think.
Thank you for your hard work, and thank Bahar, also. What a treat to have such good friends in my computer to enjoy time with!
Goodness will win. It must. Thank you for being a part of the goodness.
Perfectly wonderfully said.
I too new things about our neighboring country
Thank you sooo much.. a very big hug to uou with the istanbul summer breeze attached..
Awesome strategy. And I anyways feel that students should be taught history by the stories of food and music and art, rather than through the stories of wars and pillage. 😊
@jexx30. Food is an excellent way to learn about countries and the culture. I'm in the United States as well and it's easy to see how lacking in geography and history we are. Another very pleasant view at other cultures is international folk music and dancing. You might find a social dance group at your University. Of course it will have to wait until next year.
Refika do you know that your name means "Gentle" lady in Arabic ?
It could also mean "companion" or "friend". So your name describes you perfectly.
You are so sweet and I love your recepies ❤❤
Lot's of love from Egypt
@siemenssx1 Hassan means " The best " Excelent
@siemenssx1
It means fine or handsom .
In old Turkish it is used as companion, friend. It is first time that I heard that it meant gentle. Lovely name
@siemenssx1
I think people write it in english in different ways. In arabic it is written حسن
@@mukavvakutu
If you say it to describe a woman إمرأة رفيقة
Then it means gentle lady.
You can also use it as a noun like saying: companion of the path رفيقة الدرب
Refika brightens up anyday. Thank you for your light upon our World. Love from the UK!
Here is a trivia... I first came across these beans on the streets of Cusco,Peru where they are roasted or boiled and sold by the local ladies dressed in colourful garb. They call them 'fava' beans! And in Turkey 'fava' is the dish made from the beans! Its amazing how food travels around the world. Those roasted favas were the best snack after a hike there in the high altitudes.
I think Americans sometimes call them fave beans.
Hey.. I am PERUVIAN... is not FAVA... is ABBA (like the 70's music group) ... it is written like this: Haba... but in spanish... H is mute, is a consonat without sound... except in Cuzco, that certain places changes certain sounds and mute H... sounds as F for some people... and Z, for example in certain places of Perú sounds lile "h (Lima) or zzzz (Cuzco and Arequipa) or ss (almost everwhere else)"
My favorite part is when the tasting comes and Refika bounces because it's so good and Bahar's "mmmm"s and facial expressions are the best. All that food joy is the cherry on top of these fantastic and simple recipes. Thank you!
was just thinking the same thing, love that smile of hers.
Refika: "Look at the smell"...makes perfect sense. I love this channel!!
i realised that it actually sounds rather funny in english too, and laughed when she said it, but this is in fact a direct translation from turkish :D we use the act of looking for senses other than seeing
I'd say everyone in Germany owns a handblender, it's called a Stabmixer here or Zauberstab. Love your recipes. please keep going, your videos always put a smile on my face.
U are right. In germany most people have this. Though food processors are more rarely.
Same in Canada.
stab blender. That’s so METAL! love it
Yup, Moulinex was mine in Germany lol. Here in the USA I have the KitchenAid.
In the Netherlands we call it staafmixer
Hello Beautiful. I've been watching your videos for a month, and I can't stop being impressive with how wonderful you are and how wonderful your culture is. thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing a part of your world. Greetings and kisses from Mexico. and yes here too the immersion blender is easy to get
In Cyprus (at least the Greek side) we use dry mint when we serve the dish. I love all the ones you made Refika.
I am from Alaska, USA we do have it.
It's a joy to watch you cook and especially to see you feed your camera woman. Reminds this Kentucky girl of all the Lebanese mothers & grandmothers I watched cook growing up.
Rafika, Thanks for what you do. We discovered you when you appeared on Alex's Channel. Watching your videos and trying your recipes, has made this quarantine seem just a little better. Each time you post something new, we all wait until we can watch it together. We've tried several of the dishes that you've shared. I think our favorite, so far, has been menemen. We also like the way you do hummus. We'll probably do cream cheese next (because we have lots of fresh basil)... or maybe lavash, it's hard to decide?!?
BTW - in the United States, hand blenders are pretty common (easy to find in stores). Most people who are interested in cooking probably have one.

Loving you and Bahar all the way from New Mexico. You are making me miss an old friend, Songül, who I used to play poker with in San Francisco; we had a women’s poker night every Thursday for a number of years. She left to be a hip hop artist, and I haven’t seen her since the mid 90’s. I remember her practicing dancing on the roof of the apartment building I lived in. And she always told us she loved San Francisco because it reminded her of Istanbul, which was her hometown. Thank you for your beautiful videos and sharing such luscious food and recipes with all of us out in the world. You’re a huge inspiration!
Both Refika and Bahar are such a blessing, really great recipes and like always beautifully presented. Learning about hamams, using everything and the slow cooking tradition was really interesting
I love how simple these recipes are, it really shows how you highlight the ingredient's natural flavor and wealth rather than trying to create complex recipes. Ever since going vegan I have really enjoyed the natural taste of things and appreciating ingredients is very important, and I appreciate how you use the ingredients and how much you teach us about Turkish culture. And also those hand blenders are very easily accessible to me in New York, and I'm pretty sure throughout the US. keep doing what you're doing, its going great!
It's a really great idea to add illustrated cultural development at the end of the video. The same with Turkish expressions and proverbs within the recipe. I am studying Turkish and the perfect subtitle sections in both your channels are precious for me, more than you can imagine!
Refika is like a bean Jedi, who would think to make all this stuff with a few ingredients. It really is the food for any budget, students, single mother, or entire family with the history of the food I think ill call it Refika's Gangster bean trilogy. Nice one girls. Keep it up.
I’m from the US; we have immersion blenders but they aren’t an “olmazsa olmaz” piece of equipment here. But I lived in Turkey for 14 years and would NEVER be without it! You can find them for cheap in almost any thrift shop.
I am in Norway and these handheld immersion blenders are easily available.
NoPuvendran I asked for it specially to understand and guide my recipes accordingly... thank you so much Marvee
I’m in the US and have one too!
I am from the USA and this immersion blender is very common here. I have one and make good use of it. 👍
Puvendran Pillay
How rude.
I'm from Germany. We habe these in most households or something similar. Thanks again for the recipie and the really well done video.😃
we have the hand blender in France, and it's called a "giraffe" 😂
Or a "plongeur" ;-)
We call them immersion blenders in America :P I want one, because normal blenders annoy me. Stuff always gets stuck at the bottom of normal ones LOL! They're hard to clean and I saw a scary movie one time when I was a little kid where a ghost turned on a blender when someone had their hand in it, so it always makes me feel creeped out hahahaha!
giraffe does not beat the welsh for microwave being popty ping :)
🤣🤣🤣love what it’s called!
@@TheYoosF Plongeur resembles too closely plunger which is what one use to unclog drains or WC... yuck!
Thanks to you, I’m getting more and more into Turkish food. And luckily a lot of vegetarian things. I love the way the both of you are having a good time cooking and tasting food. Good vibes! And yes: I and most people do have a staafmixer In The Netherlands
I love the dynamic between Refika and Bahar 😊 in the Philippines we have hand blenders like this available but not everyone can afford it.
It was good to see the picture of the Kılıç Ali Paşa Hamamı, when you were explaining the ash room. It is my favourite one in Istanbul and well worth a visit
I love the mini history lesson, too!
RUclips should have a "love" button as well as the "like" one.
In a strange coincidence I spent part of the afternoon making some chickpea hummus and some of your lavas flatbreads. One of the hummus was topped with some black tahini and sprinkled with a lot of dukkah, the other with za'atar and some summac, with side dishes of crispy chickpeas with Urfa biber, and a lot of raw vegetables/crudités. Good hummus always makes me do a happy dance , so coupled with watching you make some new dishes to try its a very happy Sunday for me. I can't wait to try making the Fava, looks so tasty, but I'll make all three since I'll be cooking the broadbeans anyway.
You asked about the "blender" tool, here in the UK it's just called a "stick blender" and I use mine a lot. Seemingly we Scottish people eat more soup per capita than any other nation and it is very handy for getting good thick soup bases.
I hope your hand heals up quickly and look forward to your next video. Teşekkür ederim
My girlfriend is vegan and you are very helpful with recipes for both of us to enjoy. The kissir and the hummus spiced up our life and taste buds.
Greetings from Puerto Rico!! I love your channel ❤️ I am learning so much about Turkish dishes for when I get to go to Turkey.
Hello from Mexico! We do have immersion blenders. I’m enjoying both your fantastic personality as well as your fabulous recipes, and it is such a plus to learn from your country’s history and tradition. WELL DONE! Blessings
Refika, your story telling was superb - natural and engaging. The second dish seems basic but Bahar's reaction reveals its complexity. Immersion/hand/stick/"woosh-woosh" blenders are common in Indian kitchens... I think all couples get at least two of these as a gift at their wedding!
I had no idea broadbeans could firm up like they did in the last dish, now I want to try it! This is my first day finding your channel and I have already watched almost everything! I am learning so much about Turkish food, history, language and culture, Refika, please never change. Watching you cook is like learning from a good friend, your warmth comes through the screen to touch us all. And, I am in the US and do have an immersion blender, but I don't think they are so common as a regular blender or food processor.
Külhan beyi hikayesine şok oldum :)) seviyorum seni Refika 😘😘
Love the fact that you enjoy your own cooking so much, makes us drool too looking at you wolfing them down 🤤🤪👍
The history lessons are just as delectable as the dishes!
I tried two of the recipes (the fava spread/hummus and Cypriot Bakla) with the frozen fava beans (we call them "full" in Palestine) and they came out wonderful. Looking forward to making that fava "cheese". Until today, I've only had fava beans as toppings for hummus spread (aka hummus), when they are usually cooked and crushed almost to puree consistency. In Egypt they make fava bean falafel, which is quite yummy. Thank you so much for igniting my love of this bean!
I’ve got the bamix blender … it’s a must in the kitchen . Hello from Melbourne Australia 🥰😍😘
I loved your hummus recipe. It came out amazing! You are absolutely adorable and continuously inspire me to try more of your recipes ❤️
I really love it when you tell turkish stories 💕
(Switzerland here, I have an immersion blender and I have the impression that more people here have immersion blenders than mixer or blenders.
Funny fact: in french, immersion blender are called "giraffe" 🦒)
Thank you for exposing me to these 3 recipes. Coming in from the Caribbean 🇯🇲
I absolutely love your videos! Thank you for making us travel that far with such delicious flavours from Turkey to our homes. My hummus is now on another level thanks to you! :). Hugs and love from Glasgow.
We love watching your videos! My daughter calls you the “Ina Garten” of Turkey;)
And, in Portugal, the hand blender is called a "magic wand" and was introduced in the market around 1976, i still have the cilinder box that the first one in our family was bought in !!! You know, I seldom comment, no matter the blog vlog or issue, but making an exception for all of you, I realy believe you deserve to soar sky high . Go Refika Tem, Go ! From Porto, Portugal
I'm from Egypt and I have had an immersion blender 20 yrs ago. I use all the time. Thanks for sharing your culture.
Yummy, I'm making a trip to the Turkish shops, we have many in NL, and will surely get some bags of fava beans! You two are so much fun to watch and learn from. The love for food and cooking and camerawork oozes from the screen. We also have the 'staafmixer' .
im learning so much so I can make these delicious meals for my turkish boyfriendd
Way to go 💪
hi Refika, thank you so much it is delicacies. I love fava beans and going to make it. I live in Canada and i love to meet you when i came to Turkey.
Your cooking is like a prayer. I am watching these usually a year after they were posted. I hope you are well and happy. You seem so full of joy. May God Almighty bless you always.
You are doing a wonderful job educating others about your country's foods. I truly enjoy your enthusiasm. Please continue!
Hey there Refika and Bahar. Great video with lots of interesting history of hammams. Fantastic recipes for the fava beans. You are rocking my world. Yes, for the stick blender. Mine came with a little base with blade and lid so blender can be attached and beans can be put in bottom part and pureed without messing up stick blender.
I am from Pakistan and I gave visited Northern Cyprus. Stayed there for 40 days.. Beautiful place.
I just love love you and your team. I love that the whole team is invited to comment and jump in and that you are so beautifully in communication with us. It shows that you love this food and that it is good, tasty, healthy food. I also love when you tell a story or a poem or just anything you want to tell us. Thank you from Nicolet, Québec, Canada
We have immersion blenders in the U.S.A. (not sure how popular they are but I was gifted one and it's a fantastic addition to my kitchen). Also, I love that you made vegan recipes. I've really enjoyed all of your videos and your vibrant personality. Bahar is a great addition, too :)
Omg, these light, fresh, vegan, recipes make me SO excited, I don't even have words for it. 💚💚💚
I need to try the Raki version, as I looove anything anise.
Thank you so much for those, Refika and Bahar! 👌
I also appreciate the background information a lot!
Fava beans! Ah! I'm so excited to try these recipes! I'm from Canada (we have immersion blenders and food processors ☺️) and I have been debating buying some dried fava beans to try. You're recipes look simple and delicious! I can't wait to prepare them for my family. Thank you for all the excellent videos, I love learning about your food, history and culture 🤍
I love how you add the historical component into your videos! It’s teaching me so much about where different foods come from 😍
Never heard of cement before what a name for a dish it really looks like great for dipping lavash bread
I love Turkish food. Infact I love everything about turkey. Here in South Africa we have this, it's called a hand blender. Would love to see you making traditional kunafeh💞🌺
I made the fava today! First, I can't get over how quickly those giant beans cook, and second, it's delicious. I used only olive oil and salt, but I'm picturing other seasonings, too. Thanks so much!
Refika, these are amazing Fava recipes. We have also cooked two Fava dishes from Egypt and Italy a few weeks ago, presenting the versatility and history of these amazing beans! It’s amazing how all this region is connected through food, culture and history. Check out our fava bean episodes.
Hoping to one day meet you!
I’ve had Fava beans before and LOVED them. It’s been years and you didn’t just help me remember how great they are, but what I can make with them. Thank you!!! 💕
I agree with everyone here -- your show is such a joy to watch -- I love the participatory commentary from Bahar & your cameraperson -- I seriously want to come & be fed by you !! (& you don't need to comment - to save your hand lol) -- Blessings from Saskatchewan in Canada
I am from Greece most of the modern houses in Crete has this. Thank you interesting!! I really love that you combine history tradition with your recipes. This is so nice, goes straight into my heart. I am born and raised in Sweden and I love the end dill and dried onions!!! 😂 IKEA.
Hi I am from Yemen , but I am no more living over their due to war.
In Yemen we use to do the first step same the boiling
Step 2 making foul
For it you need 4 tomatoes ,2 peppers salt 2 medium onion
Cumin parsley and tomato paste red chilly past which u get it in Turkey
Step 3 , put oil let it to heat , add diced onion let it become red . Add diced tomatoes and after 5 min add peppers , grind the beans but leave some chunks .
Add it all and add some water which u used for boiling about 3 cups
Heat it and pet it come to a simmer and ready . You can add some Turkey meat after the pepper if pre cooked . Enjoy with lavash or some sandok bread 🍞
In the states cooks/enthusiast home cooks with large kitchens will have stick/hand blenders. But I would say that not that many people have them. Most people have good food processors and blenders though. Love the videos so much guys please more authentic Turkish food!!! The little history tid bits are so wonderful too!
I love how Bahar just pops up out of nowhere to smell, taste, etc.
I'm gonna use the blender today. I have it.
Gonna make Tahini first time. And then hummus.
So, update:
I felt I really underroasted the seeds, so I did a little more. While it looked all normal, it did not stop being bitter like she had said.
But now that I had no choice, I went with it.
The hummus was ok, I added curd and lemon juice to balance the Tahini bitterness.
I also blended a green chilli...just hoping to balance out.
There should be a video on how to fix a hummus when you've already messed it.
@@dOVERanalyst there is no a strict timing for roasting the sesame seeds. actually it is sold as underroasted/overroasted tahinis in türkiye. your choice would be the exact timing.
@@simurgsimurg3316 Ah. I didn't know. Good to know. But then why didn't the bitterness eventually go away. It looked a shade of brown. Not white.
@@dOVERanalyst actually I dont know. may be you've almost burnt them? or it is about quality of seeds.
@@simurgsimurg3316 No. The seeds were white after roasting when I mixed. Seeds were amazon Original, so I guess they were fine.
The Indyan meaning for the word 'bahaar' is SPRING! Refikaz Bahar is a also a breath of fresh springggg!
I am from the UK and we have hand blenders everywhere. I love all of your recipes and your enthusiasm for your food, thank you for sharing.
Spring onions are perfect herbs such as dill mint go with them celery bay leaves and with lemon its match made in heaven
I love love watching , i enjoy how simple you make these meals look even if they are not . So happy xoxo
Hello from NY, my name is Amelia and I’m from Ecuador. I love your recipes, in general I love all about Turkey, food traditions and I always wanted to go to Istanbul luckily last year my dream came true. I fell in love with this city, I want to go back and visit many other. Capadoccia was unbelievable!! I just made these three recipes and love each one of them. I’m vegan so it’s fantastic; my family is not vegan so I still follow your other recipes. I want to ask you to share more vegan recipes please!!
Thank you! I actually found you only a month or so back trying to find out if I could make hummus with broad-beans and you made a lovely looking chickpea hummus - and then you actually make three recipes using them! Wonderful timing. I also use a stick whizzer to make my hummus because I broke the really cheap hinky food processor type thing I had and so I had to and it worked so well and I'm from Australia and most? people have a hand blender tucked in their kitchen. :)
We have it in India. We call it a hand blender!
Heyy, I'm from Brazil and we have "This"- the hand blender hahaha
I’m from California. Love Fava beans. I like to get them, whole in pod, oil, and grill on BarBQue, or sauté pan. Eat them out of the pod, like edamame. I usually find them fresh at Farmer’s Markets. Yum. I really don’t have much experience with dried fava beans.
As for the immersion blender, it is one of my all time favorite kitchen gadgets. A “Must Have!” I will be using it today, for a broccoli soup. Used it the other day for a quick smoothie. I will use the attachment for a quickie chopper. I use it all the time!
Thanks for these recipes. I will definitely make each one.
Those fried red onions come in huge containers from Asian supermarkets all over Florida, and I basically just eat them as a snack like potato chips. I will definitely try making the fava with crispy onions. 💚 I love your Vegan friendly recipes, thank you!
Oh, I forgot to say ofiyet olson.
*afiyet olsun is the correct way but thanks for the effort 😂
Cosmo 🙄 How rude!
U r amazing, a mind reader as I just bought some favs beans!!!! Please do give us the cement recipe too😃
U r just delightful to watch.
In the US we all have the hand blender!
Thanks for your videos. I am from Venezuela, where our midwest food is basically Arab, and I discovered Turkish food very recently. Some similarities but many different too. My heritage is Russian-ukraine and can find some similarities too. Love to cook international food and your recipes are just awesome. You explain so well.
About de mixer I have one since I got married 35 years ago (well not the same) and feel like I can’t live without it
Hi Refika and Bahar!!! Just wanted to say that I'm a big fan from New Zealand and I'll share your channel with anyone that enjoy good cooking :) Please make more. Thanks for your great recipes and your good vibes and positive energy! Cheers
Ever tried broad beans with zucchini its Cypriot too
Cant live without one of those. Who makes soup without one of those hand held blenders? Also sauces and reconstituting milk powder for orphan lambs and goats.
Today i made this 3 delicious vegan magics. Its so easy and perfect. I only found beans with the peel, so i soaked them over night in water und take away the peal. In my Instantpot i cooked them for 2 Minutes on high pressure, with a quick release. Perfect! Thank you so much for this ! Oups - i forget the sugar in the 1 recipe - but i think its ok for me. :-)
I hit the like button before I watch your videos. I’ve never been disappointed.
A completely extinct of use pulse in Bulgaria Greeks love it too
From USA, we have them available not sure how many people own them.
And in the USA many times they're called Stick Blenders.
I love my immersion blender, but I think more Americans have/use a blender or food processor. Thanks for this video! Your love for the dishes shines on your face.
My mother bought me an immersion blender when they first came out. She was ahead of her time. She passed away in 1993 so obviously it was before that. I love it especially for creamy soups. I made your Hummus. My son loved it!!!! He has asked me to make it again.
Hi Rafika, first if all congrats for the videos and the recipes. So nice, interesting and very down to earth. Please keep making them, they are a pleasure to follow.
Second of all, I have to say I just adore Turkish cuisine. I am Romanian but living in Germany with my wife and kid for almost a year now and I have to say all these small turkish shops just saved us. Romania has a very rich cuisine, which Germany clearly has not, but the Turkish one is quite similar in many ways so it was just amazing to discover and adapt it to what we knew. The Sucuk, Beyaz Peynir, Sarma, all the beans and vegetables, oh and the condiments...they are just amazing.
Greetings and good luck!
Andrei
I love your recipes but honestly I watch every video for your personality and how you tell tales 😍
Ooo thank you.. how can one hate you? 🙏🧿🥰😘
@@Refika you responding to me feels like the equivalent of being touched by a famous sports person😳
I like your dishes just because you eating food during cooking like me LoL 😜 my mother very much annoyed every time when I do this haha keep smiling good going 🇵🇰🇹🇷
I love your videos, the recipes are delicious, but above all the stories and the way you show your culture! Love from Colombia
I am so crazy about Maras Biber that I buy it in 1 kilo bags ! It has just changed all my cooking flavour like nothing else ! Thank u Turkey !
I can sit here all day and listen to you read the phone book! 🤗🙌🏻
I don't know for sure, but I would estimate that only 20% of households in the US have a hand blender (but I have 2). They are so quick, convenient, and easy to clean and it has largely done the tasks that would otherwise be done in the food processor or regular blender. Great recipes as always, Refika, and let us work together to make sure good does win! Hi, Bahar!
I'm Egyptian, and the stick blender is not there in every home, we appreciate our normal blenders, but actually, I remember that when I was younger my mother would have it at home, and it wasn't quite helpful especially that it would break down very often. :D
I liked the hummus!! Very awesome as usual ;)
In Egypt, we're zealous about fava beans as they're handy and full of flavor, but these recipes are new to me.
Your videos are so fun, accessible and educational. It was also interesting to learn how related words in different languages are. In Sweden concrete is betong. You are (both) a very positive voyage of discovery in this strange year. I look forward to every new video. Thank you! And yes, we have the immersion mixer in Sweden and it usually comes with a range of attachments - the immersion blender (or wand mixer) being only one of these. You also get a mini-food processor blender and a beater attachment as part of the same package.
