Lynn's Kitchen Adventures - wholesome and delicious meals from my table to yours. Istanbul Eats. May 13 Friday Filed under Recipes In a short time, Karaköy’s Lokanta Maya has become one of the most sought-after tables in town.

Istanbul Eats

More than any other restaurant we’ve tried in Istanbul, Maya does contemporary Turkish effortlessly, without skimping on that traditional Turkish flavor. A mainstay on the menu, and reason enough to come here for a meal, is chef Didem Şenol’s mücver, or zucchini fritters. 1 kg zucchini salt 4 eggs 200 gr flour 150 gr beyaz peynir (feta cheese) 1/2 bunch dill 1/2 bunch parsley 1/2 bunch spring onions 1/4 bunch fresh mint a pinch of baking powder freshly ground black pepper hazelnut oil to fry (sunflower oil can be substituted) Grate the zucchini, add some salt and leave aside for half an hour to let the juices come out, then squeeze out the liquid.

Fry them in the oil till they are golden brown. (photo: courtesy of Lokanta Maya) My Turkish Kitchen. Almost Turkish Recipes. Binnur's Turkish Cookbook. Kokblog.

One of my big beer obsessions is exploring the ever growing London brewing scene; the London Brewers page I maintain here isn’t so much a public service as a ‘to drink’ list.

Here, we pay our first visit to a brewpub – specifically, the Bull in Highgate which has the added benefit of being the brewery geographically closest to my house! The Bull has been there for a very long time, but it’s only a matter of months since Dan Fox took the place over, refurbished it into a stylish space and somehow managed to cram a small, 2.5 barrel brewery – the London Brewing Company – into the corner of the kitchen. Ok, so it’s not going to put Fullers out of business any time soon but despite the size they aim to keep four of their own brews on tap at any one time. They also manage to sell one of the more impressive collection of craft beer from around the world – draft and bottled – that I’ve come across in a pub. This is truly a beer lovers paradise.

My quest for a fabulous pancake recipe has followed a very similar path as my quest for the perfect chocolate chip cookie.

Buttermilk Pancakes Recipe

Until I found “the one“, I searched high and low. Every recipe claiming to be the best I tried. And I kept trying until that fateful day when it was clear that I never had to try another chocolate chip recipe again. And so it has been for pancakes. I’m not going to lie – I love the Aunt Jemima mix. While the ingredient list is almost identical to the buttermilk pancakes I made previously with the exception of the sour cream in these (maybe that’s the secret ingredient!) Three years ago: Brown Sugar-Apple Cheesecake.
