Rome meets Istanbul
Last week I hosted a wonderful couple from Rome, Lisa and Massi. Well, since they were also EatWith hosts, I was excited to cook for them. Actually I had to amaze them! :) I decided to come up with a dinner which will have at least 1 meal from all regions of Turkey.
The menu was:
- Mercimek Çorba – Lentil Soup
- Mısır Ekmeği – Corn Bread
- Ezme Salata – Chilli Tomato Salad
- Tahinli Patlıcan Salatası – Eggplant Salad with Tahini
- Pastırmalı Humus – Humus with Pastirma
- Mantı
- Hünkar Beğendi
This is what I like about EatWith and any other online platforms, they are connecting like minded people and doing great on making your day! Such a nice evening and such a nice chat we had. Like I said on my facebook page, they are both passionate about food and cooking and I also need such a relationship! :)
Here are the photos of the evening. Enjoy
