      Fairytale memories, an aromatic journey about spices

      I heard the song "Istanbul" many years ago, but I don't know where Istanbul is, but I think it's a fairy tale place. After reading Pamuk's novel, I realized that Istanbul, Turkey, is a beautiful and romantic place. Istanbul is Istanbul, the place where the story in "The Spice Empire" begins, Turkey, a small piece of land sandwiched between Europe and Adam, combines the two styles of Europe and Asia, but exudes its mysterious and free atmosphere . This story about spices happened in...

      I'm waiting for you at home: may you cook a table for me, and I'll dance for you.

      It's not a comedy at all, it made me feel all kinds of internal injuries.
         The first taste of life is milk and sugar. I like the smell of milk on my body, and sometimes I also apply some body lotion. I have also used Coconut's body wash, and the whole bedroom is filled with that rich smell. Later, I met a friend who likes cherry blossom-flavored shower gel. When I smelled it, it was full of milky fragrance.
         In fact, many people are dependent on the smell of milk, especially...

      What a great movie, reminds me of my childhood

      It's very strange. I watched this film because of a comment "Every picture can be used as a postcard". The picture is really beautiful, the exotic atmosphere is very attractive, and the soundtrack is wonderful. But what touched me the most was the few scenes that passed by at the beginning: the old grandmother slapped the quilt on the clothesline with a thin bamboo pole, the protagonist’s grandfather hung peppers and garlic in his small shop, how beautiful, how fireworks...

      returned home...

      Just remember the way home

      "There are two kinds of travelers in life: one who looks at the map and the other who looks at the mirror. Those who look at the map are leaving and those who are looking at the mirror are going home." -

      A recent member newsletter from the Lower Kitchen of the Spice Republic contained nine A movie related to food, choose any one to watch, so I chose this Spice Republic.
      It happened that I had two flights in Istanbul last year. I wanted to take a look at this city spanning Europe...

      If you don't forget it, there will be an echo~

      "The strong taste of cumin can make people restrained; cinnamon can make people happy." - The nostalgia and nostalgia permeated in the spice are so rich and romantic~
      This is the Turkish version of "Paradise Cinema" , but let me see the general surprise when watching "Caramel"!
      The rich exotic flavor and music throughout the film, as well as the classic and philosophical dialogue between my grandfather and Vanness, made me very happy. It's the type I like, plus my own selfishness,...

      Humans' memory of taste is always reliable and profound, integrating growth and nostalgia into it. When the faint taste is reawakened, the emotion is the strongest. Many of the lines in the movie are great, and just a few of them are the...

      Meatballs (garlic, breadcrumbs, pepper, and salt) are delicious with cinnamon, and the "secret" of eggplant beef is nettle powder. The dishes of Turkey and Greece are dazzling, and the spices are endless like a solar...

    Movie plot

    No matter how strong the barriers of race and religion are, they cannot resist the offensive of color and aroma of a feast. French Nice is a Greek who lives in Istanbul . When he was a child, he either followed his grandfather to taste the local delicacies, or played with the little girl Sami. Afterwards, the family was expelled back to Greece, and the greedy French Nice actually practiced cooking in a brothel. Although the food is...

    Movie quotes

    • Fanis Iakovides: Geography is magical and the place to learn it best is near a lighthouse. By the lighthouse, the compass spins wildly and the air magnetises both the mind and the eyes.

    • Fanis Iakovides: Mussels always remind me of the hammam. When we'd go there I'd hear the elders open their souls as mussels do when steamed.

    • Fanis Iakovides: I realised then that other things can be cooked besides food.
