Wow!😍 I subscribed to this “substack”(?) yesterday and also bought your book “Community” from the local bookshop. Looking forward to the culinary journey (and also the release of “Tenderheart”!)

What a beautiful-looking dish [Hellimli Sebzeli Kebap]. I am really enjoying some of your recipes, Hetty, that I've made recently with eggplant. I've always felt intimidated by eggplant for some reason. LOL. However, I've discovered it has a lovely velvety texture when cooked right. I will definitely try this recipe soon. 

Thanks for sharing the details the Sebze* cookbook. :)
