Inspired by Christopher Hirsheimer and Melissa Hamilton’s addictive daily blog, Canal House Cooks Lunch, here’s what I ate for lunch today: Mom’s köfte (meatballs – or shall I say mini patties?), her zeytinyağlı barbunya (cranberry beans braised in olive oil together with tomatoes, garlic and onions), her pickled beets, my jasmine rice and a handful of fresh cilantro.

Hi Cenk. I think you made my perfect lunch! Seriously.
I follow “Canal house cooks lunch” and they always have me drooling with their photo of the day. I just wish they included the recipes as well.
Cenk, I’ve never eaten a whole bunch of cilantro fresh like that – it’s always cooked into the dish or used as garnish. But wow, you’ve opened up a new perspective for me so I’m going to try that. I must say, the natural colors of the ingredients on your plate make everything look so appetizing!
I am also a big fan of Canal House Cooks Lunch, but I think they are saving all those recipes for the next installment of their cookbook series.
Love the meat patties. How do you make them in Turkey?
awww man, you had kofte for lunch?
I am so jealous.
This is one of the family’s favorite things my mom cooks.
That lunch looks delicious.
Lovely photos, but it leaves me drooling also, so where are the recipes? It does leave one with suggestions tho.
Much nicer than the lunch I had today. A good mother.
No place like home 🙂

Greetings from Bali,
Hi Cenk, your blog is really beautiful. I love all the pictures.
I’m glad I found your blog today.

Hi Cenk, I really love your blog, it is among my top 5 foodblogs, and it always makes me disappointed to see how rarely you add a new post. Please don’t let us wait so much for your new recipes and/or pictures.

Ilona – Thanks a lot for your kind comment (and the song!). I have been working on my first cookbook for a while now. I am about to finalize the manuscript and that’s the main reason why I don’t blog as often as I used to. A new post is coming though…
Thank you for your answer Cenk, and for the new post, too! 🙂
oh, and I’m sure your book will be fascinating and beautiful, I wish it a great success!
Hi Cenk,
Love your blog! The photos are awesome and I like your take on food and the enjoyment of food. I follow Canal House Cooks Lunch daily. It’s inspiring. Can’t wait for your cookbook.
