RESTAURANT-STYLE

We start our iftar soup recipes with a restaurant-style Ezogelin Çorbası — the famous kebab-house soup we absolutely love :) 

FOR THE RECIPE: Homemade Ezogelin Çorbası

JUST IN SEASON

Since the season is just right for grape leaves, we simply had to make the most beloved dolma recipe. We can already hear you complaining about how quickly they disappeared after rolling so many — they're just that delicious! 

FOR THE RECIPE: Etli Yaprak Dolması (Stuffed Grape Leaves with Meat)

FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO STAND OUT

For those who want to do something different, we continue with a uniquely homestyle Kat Börek (Layered Börek) that tastes just like it came from a mother's hands. Once you make this recipe, you may never go back to regular tray börek. 

FOR THE RECIPE: Kat Börek (Layered Börek)

THE CROWN JEWEL OF RAMADAN

Aaand we've prepared a gorgeous dessert featuring dates — the crown jewel of Ramadan tables. You can easily make this traditional Bülbül Yuvası (Nightingale's Nest Pastry) with dates using baklava-style yufka (thin Turkish phyllo-like dough).

FOR THE RECIPE: Hurmalı Bülbül Yuvası (Date-Filled Nightingale's Nest Pastry)
