Pastırma is one of my favorite breakfast items especially with eggs or just cooked with tomatoes. I sometimes order my pastırma from Kastamonu but in İstanbul I buy them from @cankurtarangida in the Spice Market or @arzumsarkuterigurme in Kadıköy market.

If you happen to buy beets with leaves on, do not throw away the leaves. Just chop and sautee them with some sliced onions, season with salt and pepper and you have beautiful looking veggies for dinner or add some eggs and eat it for breakfast.

During long and cold winter nights, as you are curled up on your couch all warm and fuzzy, all of a sudden you hear the sorrowful, touching voice of the boza seller trying to make a living by selling this traditional concoction out in the cold…
This gets me every time…hearing the boza-seller’ voice really makes me depressed and the only way to remedy this depression is to grab my coat, run outside and try to catch him before he leaves my neighborhood.
Boza is a fermented millet drink that is best enjoyed with leblebi (roasted chickpeas) and cinnamon.
Cheers to you boza-man. I hope you will sell all your boza tonight and every night🙏

Simple dinner tonight…but before hand some aperatifs alongside roquefort cheese, murabba (the quince paste I made the other day) and my favorite crackers of my ancestors’ from Beypazarı, a.k.a. Beypazarı kurusu.
Cheers and may the new year bring you all health, joy, luck and delicious food🙏
