Kneading Bowl

Within the scope of Turkish Regional Cuisines course, students of Yeditepe University's Department of Gastronomy and Culinary Arts carry out an oral history project with Prof. Dr. Sibel Ozilgen to safeguard and innovate Turkish culinary culture. This photo is from one of those projects prepared by one of our students, talking about traditional kitchen tools and utensils from his grandma's kitchen. Let's take a look. Made around 1948, this bread bowl is used by the mother of my grandmother, and my grandmother following her death. It is used as a kneading bowl for the preparation of bread and other pastry products and it has also been utilized in the shaping process of couscous.
