This is the recipe of the Beet and Mushroom Salad with Arugula seen on two of my youtube videos. I'm preparing the dressing for the salad here: " How to BRUNCH at Home: Menu & Table Setting and Salad Dressings " and I'm making the actual salad here: " Hosting a Turkish High Tea at Home " Below you'll find the detailed recipes. I've first made this salad for my brunch guests on the video " How to BRUNCH at Home: Menu & Table Setting and Salad Dressings ". I'm still super proud of that menu in which every dish goes well together yet they all have different flavours. And the other day, I made it for the Afternoon Tea guests . Although it looks complicated, it is the easiest thing to make. The main ingredients are roasted in the oven, you can even do the roasting overnight and combine them with the arugula the next day. No-fuss. As for the ingredients, I'm sure if you use wild mushrooms it would taste million times better. I...

Although we call this type of gathering literally "afternoon tea", on my youtube video I was confused whether I should call it "afternoon tea" or "high tea", and I'm still not sure about the title. The menu is more like the British high tea minus the timing and the purpose. However, the purpose is more like "afternoon tea". The literal difference between the two is the high tea is served on a dining table and it is more like dinner, hence "high"; and the afternoon tea, also known as "low tea", is served on a low table with a wide selection of tea types with few food options like scones with jam and clotted cream and couple of sandwiches. anyway... Around 2 PM or so, gathering at a friend's home to have tea with a large menu containing a lot of pastries, salads and desserts is a common tradition for Turkish women. They put on their nicest clothes, place their clean high heels into a bag since Turks do not enter ...

This post is basically yesterday's Gingerbread House's continuation. As I worked hard until the evening for the house, making this cake was left for the next morning. For the Gingerbread House's detailed instructions and recipe click here: "I Made A Gingerbread House With The Best Roof Tricks & My Worse Mistakes | Silent Vlog"   I was initially planning to make an "Angel Food Cake with Blueberry Icing", however after watching several youtube videos and reading blog posts, I realised that I needed a special mould for the cake or at least I can't risk making something I've never tried before that day. I will try making the cake one day in the future. But the lilac icing was a must-do, so I thought lemon goes well with blueberries. Being tired from yesterday's gingerbread house mayhem, I used my go-to cake recipe with a little twist: lemon juice and zest. I already bought these dried red clovers for the lilac icing. Red clovers ar...

I've always wanted to make a gingerbread house from scratch after watching all the episodes of Bake Off and random youtube videos showing how quickly and easily to make and build one got me hooked. Little did I know, it was going to take me 7 hours to actually make one plus countless anxiety attacks, and quite unnecessarily so. I filmed every step of me making the house, even my clumsy piping skills. Do I regret doing this? I, absolutely, don't! I'm even planning to do the whole thing again. Since I tend to make the same mistakes over and over when I'm cooking or baking, it is a good thing that I made this video as a guide. Here are my tips: Watch as many youtube videos as possible, as I did. Among them, I have to give a shoutout to Tasty's gingerbread recipe and video . It is the best and most useful one to watch. Another recipe I checked out was Mary Berry's gingerbread house . There is a template PDF for the house on the page which is the one I ...
