Recipes with common ingredients

Homemade Garnish

The word garniture, which has passed into our language from French, has been known since the 15th century. While it was used as an ornament for clothes, after the 19th century, this word began to be used for foods such as vegetables, which are served alongside the main course and complement it. The most well-known side dish is the carrot, pea and potato trio. Homemade garnish is a good alternative for those who do not prefer canned food. Enjoy your meal!

TAS Kebab

Tas kebab, which takes its name from the way it is cooked, is one of the main dishes of Ottoman cuisine. Today, it is one of the most preferred in artisan restaurants.

Russian Salad became widespread in Istanbul thanks to the restaurants opened by the White Russians who came to the city after the October Revolution of 1917, and during the Cold War years, its name was called "American Salad" for ideological reasons.
