"In our last cooking class of the semester we made one of the most popular desserts of the Ottoman Cuisine, BAKLAVA, also a very well known Turkish dessert all over the world. Baklava is a very hard to make but tasteful dessert. Our second recipe was a dip called CEMEN (cumin paste). Cemen is a very common sauce for breakfasts in Turkey but also can be a perfect snack when served on a piece of bread or cracker any time of the day.

We started with cemen as it's the easier recipe and doesn't need cooking. Then we spent the rest of the cooking session with making baklava with the help of our cook Mrs. Ebru. It can be very overwhealming to try making such a recipe for the first time but Mrs.Ebru and her assisstants helped individually to each one of our class attendees.

 

 Our discussion topic for this class was the importance of neighbour relations. During the discussion session we got to enjoy the delicious food and of course the unique Turkish tea.

 We're looking forward to see you next semester and take you to a journey to the richness of Turkish cuisine."
