The pickled peaches in all their glory: Boil them to remove the skins. Simmer them with cinnamon, cloves, peppercorns, ACV + sugar. Jar them up. Eat them.
“When it’s not always raining, there’ll be days like this.” Beautiful, perfect summer days… dancing in the kitchen and eating something so fresh.
The weather dropped drastically this week … FALL… but I’m still thinking about my “pickled peach salad love affair”.
Cheers to summer days coming to an end, to those perfect island moments + all the rosé. I may have days that bring me down … but then I remember THESE days and I’m so grateful … for following my heart, for being brave, for moving abroad.
August slipped away … but I’m still here for all the cucumber + tomato salad… while there are variations all throughout this region, I learned this style from living here- the ‘çoban salatası’.
Scenes of the last few weeks “home” in Istanbul … I filled the rest of summer vacation with island days, favorite cafe hangouts, and allll the summer fresh produce… tomatoes and peaches … oh my.

Food and Recipes:

Any recipes I post were either told to me by word of mouth, or given to me by friends. If I reference someone else's recipe I will give credit to the source where possible. Also, some traditional foods may vary due to my own personal tastes and issues of translation. Customizer.

Pictures:

These photos were taken by myself throughout my walks around the city, food I've made at my home, or food I've eaten while at a restaurant.
