New Year’s Eve at The Mansion
January 07th, 2007 | Category: Baked Goods, Dessert, Ralph & The Mansion

It has been a tradition for over 10 years that everyone gather at “The Mansion” for New Year’s Eve Dinner. I have been attending for the last four years and can not think of another place to celebrate the coming of a new year. Dessert menu was set by the lady of the house and I thank her for that because with the abundant number of cookbooks I have been reading lately, it would have been very tough to choose something. She wanted a Chocolate Strawberry Cake.

The White Mansion

It`s been quite a while that I haven’t posted anything. Work had been hectic, spent a week in Bodrum at the dreamy White Mansion (summer version of The Mansion but without Ralph) and mostly because I have been extremely lazy. But here I am now.

Sunny Sunday @ The Mansion
June 05th, 2006 | Category: Ralph & The Mansion
It is hot hot hot in İstanbul. Even Ralph had to wear a hat to protect from the sun.
Hot, humid, chilly, rainy, foggy, snowy… we (including Ralph) really don’t mind at The Mansion. As long as we breathe, we eat. Whatever falls (or shall I say starts to fall) on the ground, Ralph grabs it. Then we discuss the latest trends in dieting. Next thing you know, it is tea time. And we eat again. Ralph eats all the crumbs and takes a huge gulp from the pool. Back to the discussion on dieting… until dinner. Ralph is licking the tiles tirelessly…
