I made a vegetarian kebab recipe by combining my mother's lentil patties recipe with the Çökertme kebab, which belongs to the Bodrum region. I wanted to add Zeki Müren, who lost his life in Bodrum and known as the sun of art, to the illustration. At the same time, I added Halil, who is mentioned in the folk song called "Çökertme Türküsü", to the left of the illustration, above the classical Bodrum houses.

One of my favourite Middle Eastern dishes of all time. There are just about as many variations of this dish as there are ways to spell it. Here's my tangy take on this classic dish. Hope you enjoy, too!

Inspired by a Tasty Recipe. This sauce is easy to assemble and brings life to any boring meal!

A No Bake Peanutty Treat That's Ready To Eat!

A delicious spicy nutty curry with a lovely bit of heat, softened by a creamy coconut and peanut butter sauce.

All three of my peanut butter recipes are originally from my mom. I tested them in my own kitchen before illustrating them to make sure I include my own variation to it along with all the tips and tricks. My illustration principle is that it helps make Chinese cooking less intimidating and more like child's play. Plus, of course it has to be pretty too. This particular eggplant recipe is my dad's favourite.

Serve Tabouli with Romaine lettuce leaves, toasted pita bread triangles, and olives.

In a pinch: I have a few friends who can’t eat wheat. Quinoa is a perfect substitute for Wheat Bulgur! Use 1 cup uncooked quinoa. Follow recipe on the box. Let cool. Place in a bowl. Add above ingredients follow recipe directions. Mix well. Cover and chill until dressing is absorbed. Enjoy!

Traditional Turkish meal serves cold especially for guests
