In Doy’s garden

Log it in Doydum and a row of pumpkins sprouts in today’s bed in front of Doy’s house.

Künefe is shredded kadayıf pastry layered with soft unsalted cheese, cooked in butter in a small round pan until crisp, then soaked in syrup. It comes from Hatay and is served hot, often topped with pistachios or kaymak.

Kaymak or ice cream on top and extra syrup add more, and dessert-shop portions are often large.
