The "halva diplomacy" continues after the Mitsotakis-Erdogan lunch in Istanbul last Sunday.
It started with the publication of the recipe for halva with strangalia by the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet and the comments made on SKAI's morning show.
On the occasion of this publication, Aris Portosalte took the opportunity to place an order with the well-known chef, Akis Petretzikis.
"Aris, you have greetings from Akis Petretzikis," the show's host Maria Anastasopoulou said, receiving a text message from the chef during the conversation.
"Tell Akis to make us this halva," Dimitris Economou continued.
A little later, Maria Anastasopoulou received a new message from the famous chef, who not only accepted the challenge to make the first lady of Turkey's halva, but went a step further by saying that he would also make Marika Mitsotakis' galaktobureko to compare the two desserts.
In fact, after the well-known chef was challenged by Maria Anastasopoulou and Dimitris Economou to make the two sweets to compare them, there was "intervention" on the part of the Turkish Presidency to make the right halva. This is because the recipe published yesterday by the Turkish newspaper was missing some important material.
So yesterday the Turkish Presidency sent a video of Emine Erdogan making the halva, which was sent to Akis Petretzikis' team so that they could get the recipe right. The publication has a photo of Emine Erdogan and Akis Petretzikis.
The newspaper also refers to Dora Bakoyannis' statement yesterday on SKAI that when Emine Erdogan sent her her cookbook, she sent her the book "Recipes with History" by her mother, Marika Mitsotakis.
