Worked at a cheese factory. We made cream cheese using generic frozen Spinach, while trying to be seen as an expensive product. You can add maple syrup and walnuts, smoked salmon, strawberries, garlic, and jalapeño too.

That is how we make paneer in India.After the milk curdle is rinsed in water to remove the acidity of the lemon/vinegar.Then transfered to a cheese cloth,wraped and left to set into a block and drain excess moisture.This Paneer is used to make sweet and savoury recipes. At times we add little cream and blend to make homemade cream cheese.

[@kubranurkahveci958]

Well, as a Turk living in the Netherlands, I can say that the döner-kind of dishes aren't everything there is in the Turkish cuisine. Turkse pizza, kapsalon and döner are just the fastfood part of Turkish cuisine that's not even available in Turkey, its just a European (mostly German) thing....

I first discovered how to make yogurt cheese by accident after leaving a container of homemade yogurt in the refrigerator, it got pushed to the back & forgotten. When I found it the lid had loosened & the liquid evaporated. I was curious enough to taste it & loved the flavor. I started making large batches of yogurt & draining the yogurt in a colander pan lined with a coffee filter, leaving it in the refrigerator for a day. I would eat it plain on toast or with honey & walnuts and found that green dill weed was also a good flavoring.

[@saintejeannedarc9460]

Chef John on Food Wishes has a yogurt cheese recipe as well. Only he drains it and wraps it in cheese clothe. I accidently made it from yogurt tonight too, only it wasn't either method. My batch of yogurt didn't quite turn out. I could see a bit of culturing, but it was really runny. I heard you could rework it, w/ more yogurt, so I turned it back on in the crock pot (my preferred method), on high for a 2 hours. When I went to go put it to sleep, I saw it looked just like the milk/lemon method and the curds and whey had separated, so I made that gorgeous basil/walnut version. It's setting now, but it was just the same as hers when I rolled it up. Just have to get the knack of rolling it neatly like she did. Mine is going to be more misshapen.

In India we make cottage cheese. After straining the curdle milk, we drain the cheese in a cheese cloth and leave it under a heavy weight for sometime. Then cut into cubes and use it in cooking. To make deserts out of it- like the rasagulla the cheese from cow’s milk is kneaded with a little flour till it becomes spongy, rolled into balls and cooked in sugar syrup. I had researched a lot about yoghurt a few years ago. A typical South Indian meal is incomplete without Youghurt(curd). It is easy to make curd in warm climates. But I struggled through the process when I moved out of India. Thanks to the instant pot , now I have home made curd everyday. Definitely going to try the basil and walnut cheese. Thank you for the wonderful hummus recipe. I have made it a part of my daily diet. 💓

I hear the ratatouille dish in the movie came from Turkey. Can you do that for us? Probably with a Refika twist. BTW love the spunky personality. I got directed here from Alex's channel.

I am Turkish and I have never heard something like that. 🤔 I've done ratatouille couple times but I took the recipe from non-traditional sources. And none of them were saying that it's a Turkish dish as I can remember. We have very similar dishes to ratatouille but I dont think it DIRECTLY belongs to us

[@ugur2444]

@@freakyfurky when i think about it has similar ingredients with türlü and şakşuka

Ratatouille is from Nice, France. 🇫🇷
