My grandmother's sister Aunt Jale Egeli, loved getting our very large core family together, and she was a very good cook and a very elegant hostess. She always served various tasty food.
Hem karnımızı hem de ruhumuzu bol bol doyuran teyzemi anmak için onun meşhur ıspanak yemeğini yaptım. Hem görüntüsü hem de tadı muhteşemdir. 🙂
