    As usual, Refika has shown us another brilliant Turkish recipe. I am a 65 year old Greek Cypriot and I have to say that in my opinion that there is no finer cuisine in the world than Turkish. It is simply fabulous. Big love from the UK. Peace xx

    This salad looks wonderful, i shall be making that very soon.
    I love you & I love your team.
    I am British, English, & have learned so much from tuning into your vlogs
    I love Turkish food.
    Last year I was watching Masterchef & they were visiting Turkey & had to cook outdoors.
    I said to my family, they should have asked Refika as she is my favourite Turkish chef.
    And then you appeared!
    I felt so proud, I told my family, 'I love this woman! - she is amazing!'
    I was 10 feet tall, how proud to see my UA-cam friend on our TV.
    Refika, you and your team brighten my day & you inspire me to want to cook more & cook better.
    Thank you so much for what you do for us who love your food and you.
    Thank you to your team for making every episode fun & entertaining.
    Sending you all love & a big thank you, from North West England.
