    I love the way you explain the “science” behind what is happening when you add the ingredients together. This helps me quite a lot when I cook. Thanks!
  • @kaneezrizvi5551
    I love watching your videos! I was in Istanbul last month and actually walked by your building! I really enjoyed Turkish food, so your channel helps me bring Turkish food to the US. Please do a cookbook in English!

    Love that you’ve gone back to the old style videos!!!! The fast ones feel too stressful. Yes the act/process of cooking should bring happiness as you are making something nutritious for your loved ones 💜💜💜 These are how I make my lumpia except I don’t like cabbage so I use shredded green beans and roll them in the egg roll wrappers!!! So good!!!!!

    Refika...great vid....we usually make Samosas (Somsa in iran etc)with veggies. but also with mince meat at times,,,rarely with cottage cheese or cooked noodles
  • @OSheaDean
    Spring roll in a bowl :) Love the idea of trying walnut instead of water chestnuts or bamboo.
  • @Robinicat
    It looks SO GOOD! I am going to make it today. Thanks, Refika. Robin from Canada
  • Refika, Burak (& Lovely team!) These look absolutely delicious. They almost remind us of pierogi except fried and not boiled. This concept can be found in so many cultures and the options are almost endless! Thanks for stimulating our old grey cells, be well and stay safe!!

    You all are too cute. Love the way you make cooking fun. Love the blend of fun and seriousness,as you explain and educate people about spices, different methods of cooking,and other options. Minced meat is usually what's taught to young boys and girls by their mother. My mother would sometimes put bitter lemon cut up like celery , eggplant, or Okra. Love the cabbage and wrapping the meal into pastry.
  • @swissfoodie3542
    I love your channel Refika. Thank you (and Burak, Bahar and your whole team) for sharing turkish food with us. I dont eat meat, but thats not a problem, as you almost always teach us about alternatives without meat. Also, I like your positive energy, and the explenations you give us, why you do something the way you do it.

    Just made the filling this afternoon with ground turkey to eat over rice. It's just heavenly. Thank you so much!

    The local pizzeria in our village had a weird looking wok (upside down). The Kurdish gentleman explained it was for making "Börek". I asked him to make one for me, and it was glorious! Börek should be the everywhere! So tasty!!! This is another take of what I had, and I want to know how that came to be. Can you answer my question, Refika?
  • Thanks Refika, you are the best!!!!🤩 I 🥰 you🙌🏽🙏🏼🌷🇹🇷
