The most delicious looking kebab platter! I love how you have extra tips to make sure you use every part of everything you use. Like using the bones for soup and the solid grated onion for a different kebab or meatballs. And as always your skills with different Turkish breads are amazing. Thank you for sharing such a great recipe! ❤️

Love the way the chicken marinade is made and also the helpful tips about for how long we need to marinade . Also that flat bread recipe looks simple enough. Thanks Aysenur . I so look forward to your videos. I have learnt a lot about herbs and spices and I have done away with bouillon cubes and make my own chicken or meat stock. God Bless you all. Love and greetings ❤🌹😋😋😋
