- Turkish Delight
Ingredients
- 720g (25 oz) caster sugar
- 420ml (14 fl oz) water
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 30g (1 oz) icing sugar (powdered sugar)
- 130g (4 ½ oz) cornflour (cornstarch)
- 24g (¾ oz) powdered gelatin
- 8g (¼ oz) rose water
- 1 to 2 drops red food colouring, optional
Method
1. Into a large saucepan set over medium-low heat, add the sugar, lemon juice, and 410ml (13 ½ fl oz) water. Heat gently until the sugar is completely dissolved - do not boil or simmer.
2. In a bowl, combine 100g (3 ½ oz) cornflour with 120ml (4 fl oz) cold water. With the heat off, whisk into the sugar syrup. Sprinkle the gelatin over the sugar syrup and whisk to break up any lumps. Bring to a boil; you want the liquid to reach 120°C (248°F), then simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes, whisking often.
3. Line a tray (roughly 20 x 25cm / 8 x 10 inches) with cling film, then in a bowl mix together 30g (1 oz) of icing sugar with 30g (1 oz) of cornflour. Sprinkle some of the mixture into the tray, covering the bottom and sides.
4. Remove the candy from the heat after 20 minutes and set aside for 5 minutes to cool slightly, then whisk in the rose water and red food colouring if you are using it.
5. Carefully pour the hot candy into the pre-lined and dusted tray and tap so that it sits evenly and flat. Let the candy fully cool at room temperature for at least 4 to 5 hours, but preferably overnight.
6. Once your candy is fully cooled, dust your board with some of the leftover sugar-cornflour mixture. Turn out the candy and heavily dust it with the sugar-cornflour mixture. Cut into whatever size pieces you wish, then dust the individual pieces with the remaining sugar-cornflour mixture. Serve and enjoy!

The thing about Turkish Delight in the Narnia books, is that in the time they're set, one piece was probably equal to an entire day's sugar ration for a family of four. Perspective changes the value.
Wow. I'd never put those books in the proper world war II context. You just blew my mind. And now I have to read them all again for the 18th time. I hope you're proud of yourself. And to this day I did test Turkish delight
The story states the candy was enchanted and that's why Edmond did what he did...
@@Hullj Always happy to encourage deeper reading of old favourites! 😀
@@raypatchkin9535 That too. XD
And the context that pins it down to WW2 is one line at the start of LWW.
Turkish delight was mid everywhere I tried until I had some fresh in Turkey.
Those were amazing
Exactly. Used to live there and eventually learned that you need to get it authentic fresh from the source, would never try it in a place that didn't specialise in making them.
That was my experience too. I thought I didn't like it until I tasted the real thing.
@StanfordChiou I found Turkish delight so underwhelming from the first bite, it left me questioning Edmund from Narnia's addiction to it. You suggesting trying the real thing makes me want to give it one last go if I am able get my hands on it.
@@farihashamim6860 try the double roasted pistachio ones
You can make some yourself too. If you follow a good recipe, it gets pretty close.
I was so disappointed when I first had Turkish delight - I had such high hopes thanks to the Narnia books!
Then last year a Persian friend gifted me a box from her travels. The sweet jelly was delicately rose flavored, has such a beautiful texture, and was coated with flecks of pistachio and edible rose petals (but not overwhelmingly so) instead of powdered sugar. Perfect little treat with a cup of tea. I totally get it now 🥰
Andy, maybe try that version!
👍
depends where you get it. but definitely an acquired taste.
Same I only had the ones from the boxes and didn't understand the hype. Then had the ones that people actually made and was blown away on how much I liked them
It's not a version it's the proper way to eat it. Ancient Persia invented it.
You do realise it is possible to get them delicately rose flavoured, with pistachio chunks inside, AND lightly dusted with icing sugar?
'maybe some of them' lol
😂😂
We all have “some” 😂
Kiwis keeping it real. Friends and families love each other, but don't get too full of yourself...
I think most families have at least that one person who is at minimum an "eh" on the care about scale and sometimes even a "stay the heck away from me type"
Andy lour
From what I remember of the books that was enchanted Turkish delight and you would go on eating it until you killed yourself if you were able to. The witch knew that but Edmund didn't
As I remember, the whole idea was actually because it was such a simple dessert, it showcased the silliness of Edmund trading, his family for it. Like if we had a contemporary equivalent, it might be a butterscotch candy or one of those little strawberry things.
@@DecisionAvoidantit’s essentially to highlight the foolishness of Judas betraying Jesus for 20 pieces of silver. Is Turkish delight yummy? Sure but it’s a ridiculous thing to betray your friend let alone master/hero figure etc. 20 pieces of silver in the Bible was money, sure, but to betray your friend let alone master was just crazy. Very good analogy for the setting/theme of the books
@@lxvi2441Idk if I'd say it's foolishness or, "I'll take any excuse because I wanted to anyway but I'm too proud to do it for nothing."
I remember reading the book, the witch enchanted them to make them the most addictive thing you’ve ever tasted. Like imagine you take a bite out of a strawberry and it’s so good that your brain immediately goes into withdrawal if you don’t eat another one
@@tpd1864blakeThat's just the effect i get from regular Turkish delights
Oh the Narnia reference! How wonderful
Well it's also the reference to what really happend, look it up
I saw the caption and thought of Narnia, and in the first second of the vid itself, he referenced it, I was pleasantly surprised
IKR
I'm from Argentina, our English teacher at the university met Turkish teachers in an exchange program, so she told them to come to our classroom to do a complete class in English, and they gave us this, it's delicious.
As a Turk, I appreciate your work Andy, and also you can add almond, pistachio or nuts while mixing jelly, it will be yummier 😊
I love the rose flavor. Turkish delight is one of my favorite treat. One of my neighbors makes it for me every year on my birthday. It's best gift I get. I make her blue velvet cake for birthday. It's our tradition.
@@rochellelloyd5311 what a beautiful relationship, God bless you🥰
As a Turkish guy I dont like the classic rose flavoured ones, but there are so many variations that u will definitely find the one that u like
I agree rose flavored ones are not that great . But they are tolerable when you eat them with Ülker’s cookies. You know the ones that are called pötibör.
as a non-turkish person with turkish friend i agree
Yup double roasted pistachio ones are the real deal. Its incomperable to other ones
I’ve had lime and lemon ones, they were banging . 💯👌👌
I love your Narnia reference 🙈 beautiful childhood memories and I must say Edmund’s combo of Turkish Delight & Hot Chocolate became a favourite of mine, honestly I do buy them from my local Turkish store, I’m a bit scared of working with hot sugar, so glad they are gluten free so I can still enjoy them
@@biendereviere
So thankful you stated you're one of that "gluten free" people without being asked. We live in an awesome society nowadays. 🙂
@@Zipfei_Kloatscher some introspection will improve your life. She's literally stating her experience, what a cruel & unusual thing to shame someone for.
Was it really hot chocolate that the Witch gave to Edmund?
@@Zipfei_KloatscherLol, people who can't eat gluten aren't allowed to enjoy food?
@@nimakay620
Yes, but they do not have to tell the whole world that they eat gluten free. It's no one's business, just keep it for you...
I remember mum making that for us as kids. Once.
Looking at the time and mess for 20 pieces to share amongst 3 kids and a dad, we loved it, but I can understand why she never made it again. lol
And that's why we get ours from our local Turkish restaurant 😋
I've tried Turkish delight homemade and from Turkey and man, rose flavored Turkish delight has gotta be one of my favorite desserts/
Rahat lokum. I like it... clear black coffe + few of these to sweeten up = perfection
we have millions of versions of turkish delight in turkey and once you taste it from a local good source your life never will be the same. it is an unforgettable taste. one time, I shared a famous local turkish delight in my dormitory for a celebration, after years, people still ask me about it if I have more or not 😅
A: "So, what's the taste like?"
B: "Sugar. Just sugar..."
😂😂😂
Sugar and what I assume is flour haha
@diseasedwombat5611 it's just starch. The whole dessert is a blob of starch covered in starch. I used to like it, but truth be told, it's super mediocre
@@adahnyemeth6317 there's many different types of turkish delight, some are bland, some are good. Store bought or even home-made from anywhere but Turkey are not gonna compare to the real thing.
also flowers and probably some nutty flavor idk
@user-ly2ll5od1r weeeell, yea. I am born without a sense of smell, but even I like the pistachio ones. I forgot about them. But in general, they're boring
Good Chronicles of Narnia reference 👌 😂
Love the edit at the end as you place the final piece onto the plate, very smooth!
I don't like that he did not write what he was adding.
My first and last was when I was in Istanbul in '97. I really liked it. Never thought about making it myself.
THE BEST CHEF ON UA-cam, PERIOD! 🇹🇷 🇦🇺 ❤️
🇳🇿
Uncle Andy is no Uncle Roger. But he's the best serious chef👍
Niche reference there, but I love it. Damn you Edmund! 😂
Niche?? That book has sold over 120 million copies and been printed in over 40 languages 😂
"Niche" if you've been under a rock for much of a century.
@@josephmanno4514 you got me. I'm a goddamn snail. 🐌
Lol everybody who knows a tiny little thing about pop culture understood that reference …
1.5% of the world's population is pretty niche, I'd say, but that's probably because I have no idea of the reference. That 1.5% assumes it's one book per person and not 10 in one library, etc. So I'd imagine the actual percentage of people that have read it alive today is much lower.
Yes it is! especially the double pistachio ones! Absolutely delicious 😋
I was always so curious to try Turkish Delight after reading the Narnia books, but that’s not a candy that you really find in the US Midwest. Luckily, thanks to the internet, I’ve tried several brands and varieties as an adult. I do quite like the Cadbury version (covered in chocolate, of course) 😋
You can find it anywhere there's a heavy Greek or Turkish populations. The real name is loukomades
@@ChrisMinchella loukoumades and Turkish delight are nothing like each other
@@andystewart3421 further review reveals the name is "loukoumi" not "loukoumades" but as someone who doesn't speak Greek I feel like those are close enough I can be forgiven the conflation.
Regular Turkish food is tasty but Turkish candy, delight and dessert is better left untouched.
As a kid I always thought “wow if a goat man offered me sardines and tea I’d be easily kidnapped, too”
I remember desperately wanting to try a Turkish delight after that movie expecting it to be incredible and was extremely let down when I had one
Damn I still haven’t tried it after all these years
@@jooplin its worth the try its unique
Literally sameeee omggg
In our modern day of Skittles and Snickers, Turkish Delight is mid, but I can see where it would have been something special back in the day.
The thing is you can easily flavor it with any syrup for a more delicious experience
My favourite Turkish delight is our Aussie purple/pink and gold wrapped one you get from Coles or Woolies etc that’s coated in milk chocolate 😊 Yours looks so yum too Andy !
Fry's! We have that here in Florida
Chocolate coated Turkish delight is out of this world
I've been watching a tonne of your videos after having a reignited interest in fragrances. I was skeptical in the beginning but the more I watched recognised that you gave solid opinions on it and described each fragrance in a professional way. You earned a subscription.
Old guy with a shield : i understood that reference
I didn't expect a Chronicles of Narnia reference but hey, Turkish delights!
Chronicles of Narnia were so good. There will never be anything like it again. It really was my childhood
Only had it here in America... I loved it! Very fruity with nuts and loaded with powdered sugar. 😋
That reference is ABSOLUTELY out of this world... one of your best creations yet 😂
If you put pistachio, hazelnut, peanut in them it becomes so much better but you did very good!
Cheers Andy, this is my wife’s favourite sweet. I will try this and see what she thinks
everytime someone eats a piece of lokum without some strong turkish coffee on the side, an angel falls from the heavens.
This is very well timed because I've been listening to all the narnia books this week!
😂 yesssss I am so here for the Edmund reference
My favourite… looks delicious!
I really love the plethora of food that you cook… it’s incredible! Thanks Andy! 😊👍❤️
When I was a little girl, I had no clue what Turkish Delight was, and I thought Edmund betrayed his family for a pan of some kind of glazed chicken nugget.
It's great how you made that Turkish Delight with those white stuffs and mix them with white powder and water and white powder and off white powder with and put into the heat and put some red liquids and form it and cover with white powder. Great recipe.
I love turkish delights. Especially the cadbury ones covered in chocolate
Factory in Melbourne can’t make enough of the things, it’s one of the best selling bars. I couldn’t believe how popular they are given how loud the few that don’t like them are.
@deleted.6743
I use to think they were average as when I was a kid. Now in my 30s can't get enough
I love those so much! I personally haven't heard of many people liking them, so I'm glad I found my people right here haha
Ive always loved Turkish delight 😊
So you are on team Jadis. Got it.... LOL
@@Hullj I'm on my side honey.
@@jowilltellthetruth5525 So the dwarves are for the dwarves? Love those books. And Turkish delight is still evil. 😁
@@Hullj I don't dictate what dwarves do dearest, I will agree Turkish delight is evil though, far too moreish.
I waited my whole life for this video ❤
Saw the video, thought "hey, its the narnia food", and he opens with that. Perfect.
it is the best snack that goes with tea
Would you betray Mitch?
Pretty sure Mitch would betray him 😂
Turkish Delight has to be the best snack for post Christmas dinner and whilst watching ‘Home Alone’
Finally, the excuse I’ve been looking for. Now if only I could get it to make sense.
I love it when Narnia gets referenced somewhere else
The most satisfying thing in this whole video was that editing at the end. That was really smooth.
Turkish delight might just be the world most appealing sweet to the eye.
The point of the Turkish Delight was the fact that the story was set during a war torn britain, when sugar was extremely scarce. He was a child who missed the good, sweet things he had before the war. It was about nostalgia and it reminding him of home and when everything was happy. The point was that the betrayal was for something so insignificant, and yet the triviality of it made it more impactful and sad. It was very clever, actually.
i have a whole pack of these every holiday theyre addictive
Oh my goodness ate this stuff when I was a little kid.❤ thank you I love that oh awesome thank you
Man that looks really good honestly
When I read The Chronicles of Narnia as a child in 1970s suburbia America, I had no clue what "Turkish Delight" even was, and there was no Internet to tell me. It wasn't until the early 2000s that I first encountered it, and man, was I disappointed!
My grandma used to always have this in her pocket and gave it to us. We call it «loukoumakia»
Yum. I love that stuff..👍❤️👍🇬🇧
One of those plus some Turkish coffee or strong black tea - perfection.
☕️👈😊👌
That plating edit is so clean!
Hated these as a kid, now I love them
Im more interested in that last part of the video, that stop motion was amazing
Couldn't recall if this stuff was vegetarian and I looked it up, very glad to hear it is because it's one of my favorite childhood treats.
That knife reminds me of Star Trek every time I see it.
They were enchanted :') it didnt matter if they were ACTUALLY good or not
The way he coated the board ibreally though he was gonna knead it like a dough. The asmr was a million and I wanted it to keep going 😂
Method:
Step 1 - Take some sugar, stir it into some water, bring to the boil
Step 2 - Take some sugar, corn starch, and mix into some water
Step 3 - Take some more sugar, combine with the sugar water and sugar starch ingredients
Step 4 - Line a tray with sugar, pour the liquid into it, leave to cool
Step 5 - dust your work surface with sugar, flop out the cooled solution on to it, cut for service
Turkish delight is sooo goooodf
If you ever cross roads with turkey , try the double roasted pistachio ones. That one is the by far best one.
The thing about it is most Western countries just try rose when there's lemon apple and mint + way more flavours to be enjoyed
Glad you told me what it was made of
When you're high as a kite & have the munchies, your friend takes the red ones & gives you the green & yellow ones, that's when Turkish delight lives up to the name.
There is an article that goes into the importance of Turkish Delight to Edmund . It wasn't just that sweets were rationed. It was also a Christmas treat, and it meant home and family. Edmund wanted all of that in a candy he couldn't have.
I had the turkish delight chocolate bars, those are great
The good ol' The Chronicles Of Narnia. Ever since Edmund keep savouring those, ive been wonder how its actually taste like
"Can I have some more Turkish delight?"
"NOOOO!"
Very good reference to Narnia my friend it's been years since I've watched those movies
I really enjoy your channel 😊
So satisfying
I love Turkish Delight.
Got it fresh in Greece and it was amazing
Proof that Andy is a brand now: I saw the thumbnail with something on a wooden cutting board, with a black T-shirt behind it, and knew it would be his video.
I really wanna do this. Ever since watching the old BBC version of the lion the witch and the wardrobe.
I got a tin of them that were apparently imported from Turkey and they were some of the best things i've ever had. Hoping i can get more of that quality eventually
That editing at the end was insane
Editing at the end was crazy🤯
Really cool how you tell us what the ingredients are and explain what you're doing.
See the description
I love Turkish delight and I also like to eat them while reading the Chronicles of Narnia
Chronicle's of Narnia!
The lion, the witch, and the wardrobe
🦁👵🏼
The fact that the plot of the movie would have never progressed if he didn’t betray his family over a Turkish delight
The entire making process I saw is just, P O W D E R S.
I have a arab market close to my house that sells a box of cashew turkish delight. It’s so addicting and delicious.
I have a lot of respect for anyone that got the reference at the beginning
Ooohhh I always had this confused with baklava until I had them side by side! Didn't know the name until now so thanks!
to be fair to edmund those turkish delights were magic also sugar rations during the war and all that
I’mma need that recipe, right NOW ‼️‼️‼️
Please & Thank You!💯💪🏽🙏🏽🫶🏽😁😎😇‼️‼️‼️
Haven't tried yet but I hear about it all the time!
He makes it look so damn easy too haha 😆👍🏼
I've actually had the chance to try some from a Turk himself. They actually were pretty good to eat.
It looks really nice and attractive, keep it up👍💪 Jesus bless
Maturing is realising Turkish delight is peak
