Cauliflower Fritters- "MSHAT"

Cauliflower is available year around, but is especially plentiful in spring and fall. 


Raw and cooked cauliflower is a good source of protein, Magnesium, dietary fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin B6, and foliate. Cauliflower contains important substances that may reduce your risk of some types of cancer.


Cauliflower fritters, MSHAT, are just another way to enjoy this delicious, flavor delicate veggie, and maybe a good way to feed your children veggies if they are not so fond of them. After all, everybody just love fried food!

NUTTY CAKE

Who doesn't love nuts, any nuts, walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans, almonds? They are delicious just as they are, they are inviting if roasted and salted or even spiced. And when you put them into a cake they are just oh so good!


Fruity cakes are light and feel good and refreshing on long, hot summer days, but now that the cold days are more and more frequent it feels just right to make a more heavy kind of cake, like one filled with nuts.

Eating in or out dillema II

Home cooking always pays off, but when there is a special occasion knocking on your door, eating out is definitely the perfect choice. Home sweet home, yes, but that magic ambiance can be sometimes conjured only outside your well known environment.



Anatolia is a Turkish restaurant in Nashville, TN with such an ambiance. Soft Turkish music in the background, Turkish folklore decor on the walls, excellent menu, and even better service.


On the menu there is something for every taste: unique appetizers, soups, from the grill, classical home Turkish cooking, and delicious desserts.

Quick dessert- BLUEBERRY-APPLE COBBLER
