I am a long term resident in Turkey based in Istanbul with occasional forays to Assos. The village is an ancient village overlooking the’ Aegean, where we are lucky enough to have a stone house.
Amazingly, my Turkish experience adds up to more than thirty-five years. Thus I feel I was in a unique position to explain the ins and outs of Turkish cuisine to other expats. This based on my actual experiences.
This is what I happily did for over five years.
The blog turned out to be marvellous in many ways: what I had never imagined was that it was possible to build up ‘blogging’ friendships from all over the world.
This is how I met Lulu, a friend of a friend living in the south of Turkey. To cut a long story short, I am utterly delighted to be handing over the blog into the very capable hands of Lulu and her partner Henrik, who happens to be a technological whiz.
What with Lulu’s fabulous photography and engaging writing style combined with Henrik’s computer expertise? I am quite sure the blog will enjoy a rapid renaissance which makes me very happy.
My new hobby – photography
As for me, the blog contributed directly to the development of my interest in photography. First, it was food photography but since then I have moved on in leaps and bounds.
From the culinary to the photographic, that’s me!

Here we have the Greek island of Lesbos right opposite our garden, with the necropolis in the foreground
Turkey is a wonderful country with a lot to offer both culinary as well as historical and archaeological.I hope you enjoy my blog and try some of the recipes!
All I can say at this point is:
Afiyet olsun!
