ABOUT THE MAGAZİNE JOURNAL
This magazine will give an idea to those who are
looking for different tastes to try new recipes. İt is
simple and fun to make, as the recipe includes all the
step by steps. The biggest feature of the magazine is
that it can be not only for those who are interested in
gastronomy, but also for everyone who has an interest
in cuisine. It also includes some cooking techniques.
Although the recipe I have prepared looks like an
appetizer, but it is extremely satisflying. It will arouse
the curiosity of all who read it. I developed my
creativity in the kitchen on the occasion of this
project. I brainstormed what I could do.
I am grateful to my Professional english teacher, Eren

HOMAMADE HUMMUS WITH GROUND BEEF
AND TORTILLA CHIPS
Ingredients
For the hummus;
● 2 cups chickpeas (not canned)
● 1 medium garlic clove
● ¼ cup lemon juice
● ½ cup good quality tahini
● ½ tsp cumin
● Salt
● 6-8 tbsp iced water (you can add more if needed)
● 2 tbsp olive oil
For the ground beef topping
● 2-3 tbsp olive oil
● ½ pound ground beef
● 1 small garlic clove
● 1 tsp tomato paste
● 1 tsp pepper paste
● Salt
● Black pepper
● Paprika
For the chips
● 6-8 corn tortillas and salt
Instructions
Place chickpeas and garlic in a food processor and
blend them until it becomes a stiff paste.
Add lemon juice, tahini, cumin, salt and continue to
process it. Finally add iced water, olive oil and blend
them until smooth and creamy.
Preaparing the ground beef topping
Heat the olive oil in a medium pan over medium high
heat. Add the garlic and ground beef, and brown it for
4-5 min while smashing the mixture using a wooden
spoon add tomato and pepper paste, paprika, salt,
pepper and cook until lightly browned for 5-7 min.
Preparing the tortilla chips
Cut the tortillas into 4 or 6 triangle shaped wedges. In
medium heat, place the tortilla pieces. Into the hot oil
and fry them for 2-3 min until crispy amd lightly
brown. Transfer them into a pepper towel and season
with salt. (alternatively, you can bake the tortillas in
the oven)
Place the humus on a serving platter and use the back
of a spoon to create waves on top. Top with ground
beef, sesame seeds, sumac and parsley. Serve with
crispy corn tortilla chips.
In this dish, sauteing and deep frying, which is one of
the cooking techniques, is used. We needed deep oil to
fry the tortillas and sauteed the ingredients fort he
minced meat.
WHAT IS SAUTEING?
Saute is a dry heat cooking method, which involves
cooking a small amount of fat in a hot pan while
tossing ingredients around. Sautéing is a cooking
technique which derives its name from the French
verb for jumping. For this technique to be successful,
it is very important to get the pan hot before adding
the fat in it, whether it be with butter or oil. Sautéing
is also used to enhance the flavours in a dish by
browning the surface area of food. Ingredients must
be stirred regularly with a utensil throughout the
sautéing process to ensure all ingredients are evenly
exposed to the heat source.
WHAT İS DEEP FRYING?
Deep frying is considered a dry heat method of
cooking. It uses heat conduction and natural
convection to transfer heat to food submerged in fat.
Thus begins that golden brown delight known as deep
fried food. The most ideal temperature for deep
frying is around 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees
celsius). This means that the oil must have a very high
smooking point, to ensure that it does not burn or
catch fire during the deep frying. Butter and olive oil
are poor choices, as they have very low smooking
points, although gee, also known as clarified butter,
can make a great deep frying medium.

MY THOUGHTS ON COOKİNG
Food is the most basic need of all people living on
earth. Some people only eat food, while others are
curious about the chemistry of that food and how it is
made. Chefs deal with the invisible part of this dish
and investigate the stages from the field to the table.
Students studying cookery take many courses related
to the department such as bakery products, Turkish
cuisine, World cuisine, Professional english, kitchen
design… Also, since it is an applied department, it
gives experience before entering business life. The
culinary profession has become more popular in
recent years. Generally, when the profession is
mentioned, medicine, teaching and engineering come
to mind. This idea changes over time. When people
ask me what department I’m studying , they are
surprised by the answer. The reason is because it is
stressful and high-paced. I think all work has
difficultes, so focus on what you do and love it.
Yemek, yeryüzünde yaşayan tüm insanların en temel
ihtiyacıdır. Bazıları sadece yemek yerken diğerleri ise
o yemeğin nasıl yapıldığını, kimyasını merak eder.
Şefler bu yemeğin görünmeyen kısmıyla ilgilenir ve
tarladan sofraya kadar geçen aşamaları araştırır.
Aşçılık bölümünü okuyan öğrenciler unlu mamuller,
Türk mutfağı, dünya mutfağı, mesleki İngilizce, mutfak
tasarımı gibi dersler alırlar. Ayrıca uygulamalı bir
bölüm olduğu için iş hayatına atılmadan önce bize
deneyim kazandırıyor. Aşçılık son yıllarda daha
popüler hale geldi. Genellikle meslek seçimlerinde
akla tıp, mühendislik, öğretmenlik gibi meslekler gelse
de bu fikirler zamanla değişime uğrayacaktır. İnsanlar
bana hangi bölümü okuduğumu sorduklarında
verdiğim cevap karşısında şaşırıyorlar. Bunun nedeni
bu mesleğin stresli ve yoğun tempolu olmasından
kaynaklanıyor. Bence her işin kendince zorluğu vardır
bu sebeple yaptığınız işe odaklanın ve onu sevin.
