This Turkish rice pilaf is a comforting classic that brings the warmth of home to any meal. Made with baldo rice, a variety known for its perfect texture, this pilaf is tender and fluffy with each grain staying separate. The key to its deliciousness is using chicken broth, which adds depth and richness to the rice, making every bite feel like a cozy hug. Baldo rice may be a staple in Turkish kitchens, but it’s becoming more common outside of Turkey and can be found in special

This No Bake Chocolate Biscuit Cake, or Mozaik Pasta , holds a special place in our hearts. Over the Easter weekend, my two little ones and I made it together, with their tiny hands eagerly helping every step of the way. They were thrilled to break the biscuits into chunky pieces (just the way they love it!) and mix everything together with so much excitement. Lately, they’ve become quite curious in the kitchen, and I adore sharing these simple, no-bake recipes with them. Moz

Some recipes just feel like home — and this is one of them. Whenever I need something simple, light, and comforting, this soup never lets me down. It’s the kind of dish I grew up with: no fuss, no fancy ingredients — just a warm bowl of goodness made with love. The tel şehriye (Turkish vermicelli noodles) soak up the flavorful broth beautifully, and the tender chicken makes it just hearty enough.

There are certain dishes that instantly take you back in time. For me, kısır will always be tied to the golden glow of altın günü—those lively Turkish afternoon gatherings where women came together to share food, laughter, and, in the past, tiny pieces of gold as gifts. Nowadays, the gold may have disappeared (thanks, economy), but kısır remains a shining centerpiece of the table. Growing up, I’d often tag along with my mom to these get-togethers. The living room would be fil
