Recipes keep our culture alive. My grandmother’s fried halloumi uses a lot of olive oil, some lemon juice and a little salt. There is no pepper. We fry it every Sunday and share family stories.

Recipes are like time-capsules: they link us to our ancestors. Our family’s fried halloumi uses a lot of olive oil, some lemon juice and a little oregano, with no sugar. When we cook it together, we remember our grandparents’ stories and preserve our North Cyprus heritage.

In North Cyprus we cook kolokasi stew.
– There is some kolokasi (root) and some olive oil.
– There is a little garlic and no sugar.
We make it every winter and remember our family traditions.
