    Oh! Riveka!!!, how can I be so blessed? I truly love you so very much! I appreciate all the information you share and all the love you give. I’m more than grateful to you! I feel so blessed I download your videos and save them so I can review them to make your beautiful recipes. I can not thank you enough. God bless you and your team. 🙏🏼💕
    Please forgive me as I have not been watching UA-cam over the last month and a half as I have been ill. I have missed you greatly. 💕I hope you and your family have been well.

    Last year I had my 1st kibbeh. A co-worker brought it to work. Her father made them and they were fantastic. I never knew the labor of love it took to make them.

    Hola Refika, soy Isabel una Colombiana viviendo en Turquía, me casé con mi esposo turco y ahora con mi gran familia turca para mí es un reto aprender de su cultura y aún más de la gastronomía turca, para así complacerlos , estaba buscando recetas turcas y que bueno encontrar tu canal y poder colocar los subtítulos en español, ya que el idioma turco lo entiendo poco, pero excelente y maravilloso canal y tus recetas, amo esta receta rellena con esta carne y está delgada masa, la prepararé con tu receta y te contaré cómo me queda, que bueno si en tu tienda tengas tasas medidoras y cucharas medidoras para así tener las medidas exactas y me quedén los alimentos iguia consistencia a los tuyos, un abrazo desde Eskişehir, seguiré tu pasó a paso mil gracias,

    Oh gorgeous! I'm sure that this one is destined to be another family favourite. Saturday mornings for the past couple of years, we sit and watch one (or more) of your videos. There has never, ever been a recipe that the family didn't rave about. Much of it is comfort food for my Bulgarian born son. It has brought us all together over the table - even though he lives away from home now. Thank you!

    Greetings from Bulgaria Refika and team! We moved back to our home country Bulgaria now after 15 years in the UK. And we keep following you, your videos are such an inspiration for us all and thank you so much for this recipe I requested a long time ago. I had no idea I can use this flat attachment to mix the minced meat, and we love any kind of koftes so much, so this tip is priceless! Can’t wait to try this recipe, hope I can find the fine bulgur in one of the Turkish shops here in my city. Greetings and a quick reminder, we and my daughter,age 9, are looking forward to meet you in person one day. I will let you know when as we are now very close and can make ot happen. Until then we will continue spend our free time with you and your team and your videos. Thank you so much for all your hard work amd amazing content and positivity that makes our days happier! Thank you! Looking forward to get ahold of your special chopping knife too, it is selling out so fast on Etsy! All the best to you and the team! You are all amazing ! So positive! Love from Plovdiv, Bulgaria ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
