Cooking along with
I finished reading in 3 days! This is first time for me to indulge in Armenian cuisine and first book that recipes are shared along with family's stories, life and Selin Hanım's celiac difficult but now very easy journey after she goes into the kitchen. As Selin Hanım tells us this is not a recipe book, it is my life story through food and shares with us her battle with gluten after his son's restrict diet.
Book begins with ''everybody goes to therapy I went into the kitchen". I also often resonate with this in life.
I tried her mom's barbunya, hummus, green lentil courgette and carrot curry and yoghurt cucumber salad. All delicious!
For those looking for what to cook without gluten, learn and understand celiac a bit, laugh, think, fall back to your past, diving into a fast journey to your own family gatherings around food,- if you have similarities with Selin Hanım's stories with your teenager life, I DO! to travel a dream journey to your own childhood with Selin Hanım's story, you SHOULD GET THE BOOK!
I discovered her through podcast, via that I often listen, and highly recommend these food podcasts to any Turkish speaker to enjoy and indulge in food that covers almost every region, city in Turkey, and minorities' cuisine like Sefardic İzmir migrants. And proud of how Turkish cuisine can be quite rich, with people evolved in the history, lived in these abundant Anatolia, Anadolu.
