Also, a recipe for a vegan meal with mushrooms from our chef-writer Ekin Büt will be waiting for you.
In addition, this month’s edition includes an interview podcast made by Cem Varlık, our 2nd-grade student, with Elif İbişoğlu from the English Language Teaching Department of Istanbul University about the topic of cruelty-free which is available in the QR codes provided in the magazine.
