Cook & Reflect Ep.1 - Turkish Breakfast With Lily Jay

Welcome to the first episode of Cook & Reflect with Lily Jay! 🌿

I'm staying in a cozy Airbnb in a small Turkish village. As I've been traveling the past few months, for the first time in ages, I had the chance to cook in a kitchen! Using fresh, halal ingredients straight from the local farm—including a lemon I picked myself 🥚🍅

Turkish breakfast is like a little bit of everything—briny olives, creamy cheeses, fresh veggies, eggs, honey, and warm bread. It’s the perfect way to wow your friends and family with a spread that looks amazing but is surprisingly easy to put together! 🧡

In this video, I share the joy of making this abundant and wholesome meal, reflect on the beauty of creation, and ponder how a simple tomato requires the cooperation of the entire universe to exist. It's a humbling reminder of how blessed we are—thank you, God, for these gifts. Let’s cook together, reflect on life’s blessings, and enjoy the beauty of this moment.
