"Have you ever heard of rechikas? My grandmother (and later, my mother) made these little dry cookies, not very sweet at all, crunchy and absolutely DELICIOUS, especially when dunked in some Turkish coffee!" (source)

"She would have boyos (spinach pastries) and borekas; huevos haminados (hardboiled eggs); cheeses (such as feta and ricotta drizzled with olive oil); Greek olives and pan di kaza (homemade bread); biscochos (cookies) and reshas (a crispy, twisted yeast breadstick), along with fresh fruit. My mother was an excellent cook." (Sephardic Heritage Cookbook: Ottoman, Persian, Moroccan, Egyptian Recipes and More by Sephardic Temple Or Chadash Sisterhood)
