Mantı and dolma are both dishes that take time; the kind of time families used to spend together around a table, folding and rolling and talking.

Depending on the season, you'll make mantı (hand-folded Turkish dumplings served with garlicky yogurt and butter sauce) or dolma (stuffed grape leaves rolled the traditional way), entirely from scratch. While the main dish comes together, you'll also prepare two seasonal sides: a fresh salad or local mezes.
Rojda guides you through every step at a relaxed pace. The folding, the rolling, the sauce: and the stories that go with them. As she says, "In our family, making mantı...
