Balado Tempe (Indonesian Tempeh cooked in sambal sauce)

Tempeh (/ˈtɛmp/), is a traditional soy product originally from Indonesia. It is made by a natural culturing and controlled fermentation process that binds soybeans into a cake form, similar to a very firm vegetarian burger patty. Tempeh is unique among major traditional soy foods in that it is the only one that did not originate from the Sinosphere cuisine.

It originated in today's Indonesia, and is especially popular on the island of Java, where it is a staple source of protein. Like tofu, tempeh is made from soybeans, but it is a whole soybean product with different nutritional characteristics and textural qualities. Tempeh's fermentation process and its retention of the whole bean give it a higher content of protein, dietary fiber, and vitamins. It has a firm texture and an earthy flavor which becomes more pronounced as it ages. Because of its nutritional value, tempeh is used worldwide in vegetarian cuisine, where it is used as a meat analogue.

And because tempeh has become part of our people in ages, we have so many kind of menu variant made of this tempeh. Start from light snack until the main course with variety in process and spices. You will never boring with this full of nutritious meat substitute.

Selam everybody.....Merhaba from Turkey.


Are you parent who frustrated dealing with your kids who hated their vegetables? Welcome on my board ... ! My kid, made me so proud  when she was easily eat her carrot or enjoyed her greens, tomato and more, but that was when she's around 30 months old! 

I remember her 1st solid food at 7 month old was spinach rice porridge with chicken liver. And during that complementary feeding, she ate many kind of food without rejected anything. I know, if she didn't like something, she gave me sign with her "wanna vomit" expression. I mean, she was not really picky on food, until she turns 2 yo.

Well...now I'm dealing with picky, easy to boring and difficult to eat the greens and fruits. She only like eats carrot but it is also not much... She loves chicken only. Sometimes eats sausage much, sometimes hate it. Sometimes like to eat fish, sometimes throw it away..... 😩

What to do?? I just try to understand her and keep trying changing as many menu as I can. and try to put any vegetables in every meal I made as much as I can. I made banana cake, carrot cake, fried crispy fish, spinach pastry, leek pastry..anything! Some recipe I already shared here, you can browse around if you would.

And now I'd like to insert spinach in a cake. She like eating cake--even not really much as I wish. But at least I try to put green as many as I can in anything I made... After made this cake, not only her who like it so much...even her baba! ... well double happy of me 😍


And here my Spinach cake recipe. Try it and tell me what you think...

Rose Flavor Swiss Roll Cake / Bolu gulung Mawar


Hai everybody..... Merhaba.
It's nice weekend today. Yes, even temperature outside still around 10 or 15 Celsius but sun so bright and cloud. Just hoping spring will come soon ^,^
Last two days ago I got migraines :( . Migraine is a condition that causes attacks (episodes) of headaches. Other symptoms such as feeling sick (nausea) or being sick (vomiting) are also common. Between migraine attacks, the symptoms go completely.

Very rarely I get it since last year, it was very disturbing  and annoying you know since I have active kid who needs me all day long, so I couldn't really rest. I didn't want to consume any painkiller or any drug whatsoever. I just drank warm milk with honey and ginger cause I think it was just because "period thing" ... I need to keep my body warm and relax, that's all... Hope I will not get it so often.


Well, Alhamdulillah today I feel better and what's make me more vibrant is sunny day !(^,^) So before going out to park with my kid, I try to make something for tonight dessert. Then I'm thinking to make swiss roll cause some FB friends have something like cooking/ baking together event with 'pink roll cake theme'... so why don't I join that also.... so voalllaa.. I make this Swiss Roll Cake with Rose flavor. I use rose aroma drop which very common to use here in any turkish dessert. For filling I use rose jam and whipped cream. If you want to use this recipe of course you can vary the rose flavor and jam with other flavor you like.

Ember-Roasted #eggplants puree with meat sauce -- #Hünkar Beğendi (Sultan's Delight)

Selam Everybody..Merhaba...

Actually is very fresh yet cold today due to snowing today, so I decided to walk out of house a little with my kid..then suddenly end up to butcher because I remembered I didn't have meat stock and I want to make something that my husband likes it's, Hünkar Beğendi

Hünkar Beğendi, literally means Sultan(king)'s Favorite. So maybe this meal was one of Sultan's favorites during the Ottoman emperor. I can not find any further literature about this meal, so if you, my readers know more about it, please do share with me here😊

Hünkar Beğendi is a puree made of roasted eggplant served with gravy meat over it. Traditionally people use lamb or goat meat for the gravy but some also using beef meat.
Anywaaaayyyyy...... this Sultan's favorite is also one of my husband's favorite also. so I call this also "Husband Beğendi" haha..... 😊
