Turkish Recipes; Simple Cooking & Food

The best-kept secret about Turkish Cooking is that most Turkish recipes are quite simple to make. Cooking is an art and Traditional Turkish cooking requires skills, techniques along with some unique cooking utensils, ovens called tandir or charcoal stoves known as mangals.

Luckily in modern times, we can cheat a little with some Turkish recipes simply by purchasing ready-made ingredients, using modern day ovens and simplifying recipe methods, saving you time.

 Cooking Turkish Recipes Easily

The Turkish recipes you’ll find at Turkish Thyme Cooking display how to make your favorite Turkish foods without spending hours in the kitchen. For example, if you want to make gozleme (sometimes known as a Turkish pancake or crepe), you don’t have to make the pastry dough and roll it out super thin using an oklava (very thin rolling pin). Rolling out yufka is a technique and art that is passed down from generation to generation and is not easy. Luckily in Australia and other western countries such as the USA and England, you’ll find ready rolled out yufka at Turkish food stores. If you can’t get yufka, use 4 sheets of filo pastry instead.
