French Macarons


This is not exaggeration, I have wanted to eat macarons since last year. (It was becaming famous in Turkey in recent years when LadurĂ©e was opened in Turkey) Somehow, I could not had eaten the small desserts untill my San Francisco trip which was last month.  I know there is no connection each other San Francisco and french desserts :)  However to me this is the most enjoyable part of the trips.Make connections yourself from your experiences. When you are going some new places, everything will be first for you... What you need to do is just discover and  enjoy it.I believed this is my passion...
Anyway, as we were taking the city tour by bus , we stopped by the cutes small cafe to take break ... When I saw macaroons over there , it took 5 minutes to buy them...:)) Lets talk about what it tastes like.  
-Macarons can be done in different flavors so you should find your best flavors up to you.
-There are various ways to make macaroons migh be filled with buttercream or jam.

So again the tasting migh be different each cafes. I really liked my first macaroons. They were so moist and easily melted in the mouth.Woww... I am going to continue to taste more macarons, do not stop me...

baklava . Turkish Desert

If you are far away your family and your country, what do you miss first excep your mother???

Of course food!!!What will happen if your friend bring your favourite dessert ? Before I finished all of them I took pictures and let me introduce it to you...Baklava ...

Baklava's history comes from Ottoman Empire thats why, nowadays between Greek, Arabic and Turkish tradional life is known.

What it makes baklava special is to need too much effort to make it. To get 6-8 layers in one piece, it is supposed to thin phyllo dough which is not easy to make iy. Also to make perfect sauce is not easy in terms of juicy, tasting and temperature of it. Do not perfect good pistachio too. So, in addition to the tasting, I always admire how to make baklava. In other words, baklava is traditional and still hits.
Especially capable of eating is here priceless....:)
