Transcript
Two shallow bowls of Turkish pasta side by side on the counter, white yogurt under spiral pasta, rust-red beef, red butter and green parsley, steam rising. Caption: "Done. Cool yogurt, warm pasta, sizzling red butter." Close-up: a fork twirls through a bowl, mixing yogurt, pasta, beef and red butter together. Caption: "Mix it all together before the first bite." Akane leans over the two bowls, eyes closed and smiling, breathing in the steam. Caption: "Garlic, mint and warm spice. The whole kitchen smells like it."

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.
