Tomato Soup Made from Real Tomatoes, not Tomato Paste!

Who doesn’t love tomatoe soup, especially with grated parmesan cheese and crutons? However, when we look around for the recipe we generally see that people generally make this soup from tomatoe paste, which doesn’t necessarily give the real tomato taste.

Here I present you a recipe of tomato soup you can easily make from real natural tomatoes.

Easy Homemade Milk and Rice Desert: Sutlatch (Sütlaç)

Who doesn't like desert? Especially if it's light and easily digestible deserts are the happy ending to every meal.

It's totally easy to make, and so deserves to be "the first desert recipe" on this site. Come on and try this happy combination of milk rice and sugar!

Light Fried Peas and Eggs (Mujver)

It's the right time to find peas in the market. Go buy some fresh peas in their pods, shell them and either throw them in the freezer in a fridge bag ready to cook, or boil them and do some canning. If you want to eat them now, use this recipe to make a delicious meal with peas and eggs. By the way up in our home town peas are called "bezene" and they can be eaten raw with their pods, because the peas in these pods are very small. We cook this recipe with "bezene" (peas in their pods), but I assume you are using larger peas so you should shell them and use the peas only.

A Different Cornbread

Cornbread is a commonly cooked bread in the Black Sea region of Turkey, and goes well with many of the other dishes from this region. Its taste is a bit different from the usual cornbread though because it's more salty than sweet. And it is low fat! Please enjoy.
