Sinanation

Besides my obsession with Turkish feta cheese and green olives, I have one more rather unexpected obsession from my home country. Cizmeci Gida’s (www.cizmecigida.com) waffle cookies made with nuts and cocoa have a taste I haven’t been able to match anywhere around the world so far. The company, founded in 1993 currently houses close to 35 products mainly focusing on waffle cookies and coated biscuits. So whenever I am back in Istanbul I try to get a few of the 400g boxes and preserve them in the refrigerator. The cold makes these cookies even better with milk. Be careful though these cookies are certainly in the “once you pop you can’t stop” category.
