Really amazing to not only see your developments in cooking, but also in your English speaking!! You are getting more confident in what you're doing and in front of the camera. You're getting better and better over time and I'm really happy to see that

So nice to see Turkish recipes veganized. Since I grew up with the Turkish cuisine I alway come back to food my mom used to make. You have to try so many other dishes like "Imam bayildi", "mercimekli köfte", "patatesli köfte" and kuru fasulye :)

Hi, there is a vegan baklava in Karaköy Güllüoğlu, in Istanbul. They made for vegan customers.

[@yasemin5359]

There are tons of Turkish dishes which are completely vegan, you should try them as well, you wouldn’t even need to change them! Artichokes, any olive oil dish, “meze”s, lentil koftas, piyaz, wrapped vine leaf with olive oil, imambayildi, etc. World knows Turkish cuisine with kebabs but there are many many veggy options, wish everyone would knew 🥰
