Experience a Turkish Family's Daily Meal

Traveling is more than seeing old buildings, we all agree on that, right?
We have limited time and a lot to visit, learn and experience.
I believe dinners are the shortcuts to daily culture of a society!
Here is my suggestion: Come to my place, let’s have a dinner together and ask me as many questions as you can while eating my grandmother’s recipes.

Here are some sample dishes I can offer
Starter
Su Böreği : In other words; princess of Turkish cuisine.
And yes, I make it myself :)
Hummus : Who doesn’t love hummus?
Yoghurt Soup
Main course
Kibbeh (içli Köfte) : This is a south-anatolian dish with bulghur and roasted minced meat with cinnamon.
Chicken Stew with Vegetables : Served in crocks.
Dolma : Stuffed Vegetables
Garnish
Mercimek Köftesi : Red Lentil Balls
Garnish
Leek Meze
Dessert
Semolina Pudding : After having a pretty heavy Turkish dinner, you will definitely need that refresher, light and milky pudding.

Extras:

I make minimum 8 dishes and almost all of them have stories. I serve them while telling you about their stories or historical backgrounds.
I live in this magnificent old town Uskudar, and I love to guide my guests through it. Let’s schedule it together before or after meal and have a 2 hour Uskudar tour together.
One of my guests Elodie wrote about her experience on her beautiful blog. Why don’t you take a look? http://www.tukibomp.com/2015/06/istanbul-city-guide-diner-chez-lhabitant-vizeat.html (And thanks for the great pictures Elodie!)
