Gözleme at The Rocks markets


Gözleme, a traditional Turkish flat, hand rolled pastry, filled with various fillings, is a perfect market snack food. Fresh pastry is rolled out, filled and sealed, then cooked over a griddle.

These women were making them at a stall at Sunday's markets in The Rocks.

I couldn't choose one favourite photo, so a collage it was. However, my two favourites are the centre ones: the older woman casting a weather eye over the younger, and the younger women twisting the dough in the air. I have uploaded them all full size at Sydney Daily Photo Extra.

I had a spinach and fetta cheese one, and forgot to take a photo of the finished product, so eager was I to eat it!!

  5. I sure have read "Stravinsky's Lunch". A friend gave it to me for my 50th. I must dip back into it for the GCS section ...

    Many thanks for the offer. Very sweet ...

    You will be astounded to know that Ann of Sydney Meandering was at The Rocks markets on Saturday and I was wandering around Bennelong Point for a lot of Sunday arvo. Snap!!

  10. This is unfair, I am hungry now. It's lunch time and I am still at the office. Nice choice. Yummy.
    I have been tempted to use collages but never did. I know what you mean about not knowing which one to get from the series. The final result is better to tell the story. Nice post.

  11. The portraits altogether make the collage strong! Interesting looking procedure and, of course, who can resist feta and spinach!
