Transcript
Akane sits at her small square table under the rattan lamp, fork in hand, a bowl of Turkish pasta and a glass of water in front of her and a second bowl and glass at the empty seat across. Caption: "A cold night. A warm bowl." Close-up: Akane takes a forkful of pasta, eyes closed, cheeks flushed with delight. Caption: "Creamy, spicy and tangy, all in one forkful." Akane rests her cheek on her hand, eyes closed and smiling, her bowl before her. Caption: "Result: worth every one of the 30 minutes."

Akane eats Turkish pasta at her small wooden table under the rattan lamp, a second bowl set at the empty seat across from her; she savours a forkful with her eyes closed, then rests her cheek on her hand, content.
About this chapter
Turkish pasta made Google's list of the top trending recipes of the year in its Year in Search, and it is still a much-searched comfort dish as the evenings turn cold. On a chilly November evening Akane makes it in her small kitchen in about 30 minutes: cool garlicky yogurt spread in the bowl, warm pasta, ground beef cooked with onion, tomato paste and spices until no pink remains, and a sizzling drizzle of red pepper butter with dried mint on top. Captions walk the reader through every amount, heat setting and doneness check so it can be made at home, ending with Akane at her little table doing some very reasonable math about the second serving.
