Family recipe cook

The dishes from our family table, written down

I’m Nermin. I cook the dishes my family has made for Sunday lunch for as long as I can remember, and I sell printable recipes, a recipe booklet and two video courses.

About

Hello, I’m Nermin

I learned to cook standing next to my mother in a courtyard kitchen, with no scales and no written recipes. Nothing was measured. You looked, you tasted and you were told when it was right. When my family grew and moved away, they asked me to write it all down, so I did, one dish at a time.

Every Sunday I cook the same sort of table: a few mains, a few sides, a bread and something sweet. Here you will find each dish as a printable recipe, the whole table as a booklet, and two video courses for anyone who wants to roll pastry by hand or cook a whole family lunch in one afternoon.

Notes From the Table
