http://www.f...@Anonymous, Here's the FB group: <br />http://www.facebook.com/groups/cookscorner4expats/<br /><br />The taze krem peynir is very expensive compared to labne here, and I think it has a slightly gummy texture compared to Philly American Cream Cheese. That's why I prefer to use labne and I add flour for a thickening agent.<br /><br />Regarding sour cream, I just use the suzme yogurt and thin out with a bit of krema or whole milk. Works great for baking. There's several recipes out there to make your own sour cream. Here's one:<br /><br />Homemade Sour Cream<br /><br />1 cup heavy cream<br />1/4 cup sour cream or buttermilk (or even white vinegar will work)<br /><br />Instructions<br /><br />"In a screw-top jar or mason jar with lid, combine the heavy cream and sour cream (or buttermilk). Shake the ingredients up a bit to thoroughly mix and let stand, covered, at room temperature for about 24 hours or until it becomes very thick. You can store your sour cream in the refrigerator in the original jar you mixed it in (or use some other resealable container) for up to one week. Make sure that your sour cream is well chilled before using."<br /><br />Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920366609527181388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104067274494549802.post-7855647638702584912013-03-05T02:54:59.305-05:002013-03-05T02:54:59.305-05:00I once read in a Turkish cooking magazine that the...I once read in a Turkish cooking magazine that they made sour cream by mixing equal parts Suzme yogurt with krema, stir & let sit for 4 hrs. It's really good! Softens the yogurt sharpness to more of a creamy sour-cream. I haven't cooked with it though. Also, there's a 200g packet of Taze Pastorize Beyaz Peynir (Pinar brand) in the cheese section that many friends use for cream cheese & cheese cakes. Have you tried that compared to the labne?<br />I looked for the Facebook group/page but couldn't find it...Is that the full name "Cooking Corner in Turkey/" Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104067274494549802.post-28839024268714496752013-01-21T05:15:40.078-05:002013-01-21T05:15:40.078-05:00Hi Anonymous, It's been awhile since I've ...Hi Anonymous, It's been awhile since I've made enchiladas. Just got to make a tomato sauce from scratch, fill with meet and top with kasar cheese. Also, I'd recommend checking out the Facebook page of Cooking Corner in Turkey. Lots of great advice there. <br /><br />Here's 2 posts of my Mexican recipes:<br /><a href="http://myturkishjoys.blogspot.com/2012/06/comida-mexicana-at-home-in-istanbul.html" rel="nofollow">Comida Mexicana at Home in Istanbul</a> <br /><br /><a href="http://myturkishjoys.blogspot.com/2011/06/foodie-treasure-hunt.html" rel="nofollow">Spicy Black Bean Chili</a> <br />Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920366609527181388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104067274494549802.post-62650654190835397562013-01-20T14:23:20.997-05:002013-01-20T14:23:20.997-05:00could you please write a blog on how you make ench...could you please write a blog on how you make enchiladas in turkey. i am from america as well and currently living in istanbul. im having trouble making mexican food. do you have recipes?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104067274494549802.post-43529779016841286942012-10-23T16:51:28.413-04:002012-10-23T16:51:28.413-04:00Yep, I've pretty much always used suzme in pla...Yep, I've pretty much always used suzme in place of sour cream even in enchiladas and such. It can be thinned out with a little milk or cream if you want as well.
