I have been thinking a lot about Istanbul recently and our visit there in June. This dish is based on one we enjoyed at a Turkish restaurant in Cape Town and I reminisce about the Asian side in Istanbul and the famous Ciya Sofrasi restaurant.

A walk around Mouraria, the birthplace of Fado music and a very special project to honour the oldest residents of the district. A slideshow of the visit set to a fado number sung by Cuca Roseta. And to enjoy with this? A thick slice of cheddar and parsley beer bread with salted butter.

I’ve had the chance to sample a huge variety of Turkish Delight or lokum as it’s known in Turkey a few week s ago. I used lemon Turkish Delight in these cookies. Using the Quick Treats Flapjack mix to make these lemon scented, lemon flavoured lovlies, which are crumbly and cakey in texture, I took great delight (ahem) in extending the tastes and sounds of my recent visit to Istanbul in the kitchen.

As Seen On, Food & Travel, Mains, Recipes, Seafood, Woolworths & MasterChef SA 2012

For this week’s Woolworths MasterChef SA Spice Challenge, I delve into the wonders of Zanzibar the Spice Island and make a Parsi dish, a prawn dhansak. Freddie Mercury was born in Zanzibar and was Parsi- did you know? Dhansak uses a variety of spices, lentils and in this case mango and pineapple pulp and lime juice. Serve with a mango and pineapple salsa.

I received these images from Founding President Régine le Coz today. I’m not sure how she managed to get to the time to sift through the hundreds and share all the pics of me, but I know she works with an incredible “dream team”- her affectionate name for the team that works tirelessly to help her put the event together each year. Some images of the dinner the night before and a little fun.
