The Viral Turkish Pasta Recipe aka Yalancı Mantı

What if you could enjoy all the flavors of The Viral Turkish Pasta Recipe aka Yalancı Mantı, without spending hours folding tiny dumplings? This viral Turkish pasta with ground beef, garlic yogurt, and paprika butter delivers exactly that. It’s rich, creamy, comforting, and surprisingly easy to make. No complicated techniques. No special skills. Just bold, authentic flavor in under 30 minutes. It’s easy to see why Lazy Manti (Yalancı Mantı), also known as Turkish pasta with yogurt and paprika butter, has taken social media by storm. This shortcut version keeps everything we love about classic manti — the savory meat, the creamy yogurt, and the aromatic butter — but swaps handmade dumplings for pasta. The result? Pure comfort food made for real life.

Pistachio Lemon Cake

Imagine this: the smell of fresh lemon in the kitchen, a soft golden cake cooling on the counter, and little green pistachio pieces everywhere.

It’s soft, fluffy, and incredibly moist, with the perfect balance of nutty pistachios and fresh lemon. Every bite is bright, rich, and comforting at the same time. If you love pistachios, this easy pistachio lemon cake will quickly become one of your favorite recipes.

This year, I’m taking you along on my personal blog recap, thanks to Sabrina and Steffen from Feed me up before you go-go. And wow—2025 served up so many delicious moments. In this Food Blog Year in Review 2025 – A Culinary Journey, we’ll explore eight questions that highlight the year: my favorite recipe, memorable trips, tiny “aha” moments, and all the times I poured heart and soul into the blog.

Baslogh Anar – Pomegranate & Pistachio Jelly Confection

Cinnamon smells like Christmas. Rosewater carries you straight to the Middle East. And then there is pomegranate. Its deep ruby juice shines like liquid light. To me, it has always felt festive. Maybe because pomegranates symbolize luck and new beginnings in so many cultures. Or maybe because they always remind me of the longest night of the year: Shab-e Yalda. On Yalda Night, pomegranate takes center stage at our table. Fresh, juicy, symbolic – it’s everywhere and here I have a lot of Must-Eat recipes. And this year, my Baslogh Anar – Pomegranate & Pistachio Jelly Confection fits the occasion perfectly. Soft, jelly-like, gently sweet with a pleasant tang. Similar to Turkish Delight, but with a distinctly Persian soul and an extra touch of pomegranate magic. Here’s a little secret: With this recipe, I’m opening Door No. 15 of the Xmas Boom Advent Calendar. That’s where Christmas and Yalda meet. Candlelight, winter coziness, sweet treats – blended with oriental colors, stories, and traditions. Two festivals of light, warmth, and togetherness. Watch my prepvideo on Instagram

Today we’re celebrating a very special day: National Bundt Cake Day! I’m so excited to join Tina from Food & Co again this year.

I promise: the smell of warm cinnamon, the soft and tender texture, and the creamy frosting make every bite feel like a little moment of happiness. I’ve baked this cake several times already, sometimes even in the middle of the night because the aroma is simply irresistible. Watch my Prep Reel on Instagram
