What Turkish dish are you best at cooking?
If I do say so myself, I make a pretty good Kunefe. The cheese that you are supposed to use - Lor? - doesn't seem to be available in the UK, so I use a mixture of ricotta and mascarpone instead. Which I realise makes mine more of an adaptation than a strict follower, but I have had no complaints so far. So much so that this is the pudding we have following xmas dinner here (that's what a cross cultural marriage gets you!).
The only problem that I find is with buying the kadiyaf pastry from the shops here - quite often it has started to go off long before it's sell by date, which is a pain as I tend to bulk buy it when I am near a middle eastern shop and then freeze it when I get home.
Does anyone else have a special Turkish dish to bring to the masa? We can have a virtual picnic!
