Recipes

ONLINE Mixed Foreign & Turkish Group

Facilitated by Jodie and Yeşim online.

These are some of the recipes that were prepared at home by the participants, photographed for us all to see and shared via our online sessions.

Though the specially prepared food was not actually eaten together, it was shared in such a way that we all could imagine the flavours.

These recipes are shared in the way that the women shared with us, some are more explanatory than others. Please remember that many recipes were passed down (often from mother to daughter) and no written records exist between them. The women instinctively know the cooking times, methods or when to add which ingredients and it is so natural to them that they expect us all to know too!

The way of showing and making together is a beautiful way, those of us from a written word culture are sometimes inclined to see a lack of written records as inferior but we invite ourselves to see that the oral and participatory culture is a vast richness in human experience and times spent sharing the pleasure of cooking together is both precious and informative. It is also the gift of our cultural heritage through participation.

If you find that a recipe you are curious about is lacking in essential information, please contact us and we will do our best to provide clarity.
