If you are bored out of your mind while in self-quarantine or isolation, why not check out these delicious, super fun and easy recipes that call for some unorthodox ingredients – we promise they taste amazing!



After being stuck at home day after day, one starts to crave some good desserts. Seeing that we have now mastered catering to our lunch or dinner needs over the past few weeks, it is now time to dig out some recipes to please the sweet tooth in all of us. While looking through my many notes, I stumbled upon three great desserts. The first was one I used to make but somehow forgot over time, the wacky cake, and the second intrigued me as a lover of potatoes – potato candy. The third might sound a bit weirder, but pretty much everyone knows it in Turkey as tavuk göğsü – literally meaning "chicken breast" – a sweet pudding with chicken breast in it.

It is also quite mess-free, needing no mixers or bowls, which is always a plus in my book!
