  Mercimek Çorbası – Turkish Lentil Soup is a spicy concoction of red lentils, tomatoes, carrots, and onions. The deep flavors are perfect soulfood for sunny but icy cold winter days.

• Cheese Waffles

  

  As much as I love sweet waffles, sometimes I need something savoury. These cheese waffles are stuffed with herbs and big chunks of melted cheese. With a dip and a few veggies they make a very filling and satisfying lunch.

• Sourdough Poffertjes

  

  Dutch poffertjes (mini pancakes) are a staple on german christmas markets. But of course I get a craving when the markets are all closed up and moved on. That means I have to make my own, and since I don’t use yeast, I developed a yummy sourdough version.

• Simple Carrot Soup

  

  I have many different carrot soup recipes, but this simple one is my favorite. It mimics the flavors of the carrot side dish my Mom used to make. Carrot, caramelized onion, and a bit of green stuff. It’s so simple yet so good!
