during our trips to soucak just outside kusadasi, we became friendly with an old woman who used to make gozleme, on the side of the road. wondering if she has a cousin in calis doing business.

Big fellow well done great list,my confusion is when I go the market and see the different vegtables and not knowing what goes with what and how to cook them, so we usually stick with what we know, but would like to try some of the vegtable cooking dishes, names not good to me as i have no idea what they look like, we got the books but they don't show pictures of the raw veg only finished meals.
