Totally unrelated to food, but Turkish coffee makes excellent massage scrub.

My husband loves apple ice cream but I cannot find any decent recipe. Does anyone have similar?

My to-go crepe recipe is: 4 eggs, 2 cups of AP flour, 1cup of milk, 1 cup of water, 3 tsp oil, 1 tsp salt, optional: 1 tsp/tbs sugar (depends on how you like).

Whisk eggs, add milk, stir well, add other ingredients (you can sift flour to prevent lumping), mix fine until there's no dry part, but don't over mix. Thin with milk/water if it's too thick to spread. Use a ladle or a cup to grab some of the mix and put it on a medium/high heated, very mildly oiled non-stick crepe pan (or you can generously spray it with oil if it's not non-stick), quickly distribute the mix within the pan equally, when the edges start to come up, turn it over with a spatula, let the other side cook also and transfer to a serving plate. Repeat for the remaining mix.

You can top it whatever you like but my favourite topping are apple sauce or nutella/banana slices combination, just like I had in Paris. :)

Bon Appétit!

Being Turkish also, I'm so proud of him! Such a great place.

That is amazing! My husband would love it since he's a great fan. Now we have one more thing to buy when we visit the US.

Theoretically it's beautiful, but I can't imagine myself trying to step down the ladder with my hand(s) full of plates or any other heavy/fragile thing.

Wow! I'm impressed that someone wrote about a place in Ankara instead of Istanbul. I'm from Istanbul but I live in Ankara since 2002, so if you visit here I'll be glad to help with anything in the future. By the way, I also recommend Izmir open bazaars (produce markets as you say). They sell great variety of herbs and edible plants.

Beef stew and rice will be delicious with turmeric.

Steam cook with garlic and brush it with fragrant olive oil afterwards.

"Since quiche is never eaten raw..."

Why not? In here, it's very common to eat them raw when they're ripe. They're delicious raw or cooked. They're also great to nibble if you eat them raw and if the tartness is a problem, well green plums are also tart but we don't cook them, do we?
