My Mom had 3 daughters, a year apart from each other, and I am the youngest. As far back as I remember in my childhood, especially when my Mom announced that she was going to make dolmeh, eggplant dolmeh, we knew it was a fun, all girls family affair. We would sit all around the dining table and loved watching my mother hollowing the eggplants, tomatoes and bell peppers (sometimes apples, quince in fruit varieties; wrapping grape leaves, cabbage leaves). Soon, we were part of it and four of us were hollowing the vegetables, or wrapping. We compared our creations while innovating our own individual styles and developing our know-hows. Making dolmehs left special, nostalgic memories in our hearts. Dolmeh is a time-consuming dish, but is labor well worth the result and enjoyment to the palate! Please go to talented, muliti-lingual Mariantonietta's blog, Relaxing Cooking for the full recipe. Thank you Mariantonietta for your generosity and the time you spent in translating and posting my story/recipe in your "Mi Racconti Una Ricetta / Tell Me A Recipe"! ~ Fae.´¯˜"*°•♥• °*"˜¯`
I love reading about one’s memories which involve a mom or dad and food. Beautiful Fae!
Yes. This one was a nostalgic memory of my Mom and I have story of my Father cooking in my post Borscht.
Very beautiful story. The way the eggplant is peeled looks very cool. I think I will eat anything with eggplant. It’s becoming one of my favorite ingredients.
- I was having fun peeling the eggplants.
- That means I have to come up with more eggplant dishes to post!
You two together are the best of the best!!
You are the best Cindy! Anto is a cooking teacher, and I just cook to please the belly!

Hello Julian,
Fae.
Thank you very much for your kind message. (I had to use a translator.)
I know you are going to like this dish. A little tedious, but it is worth it!
Grazie!
Fae, I love your story of your mom and sisters making dolmeh. How charming & sweet! I can picture it in my mind’s eyes. (I’m assuming with confidence that your siblings are blessed with equal amounts of charm as you are.)
Darling Azita, It is the kind of nostalgic story that all girls have experienced with their Moms. As for the charm… I must think about that!
)))
You bring Joy with every comment of yours, Sweet Azita! xx
