Sema Foundation is hosting a Turkish breakfast fundraiser benefitting Embrace Relief's emergency aid to communities devastated by the earthquake that shook eastern Turkey in February.
At its most basic, Turkish breakfast is a spread: olives, cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggs and condiments like honey or tahin pekmez . Breads like simit, ring-shaped and rolled in sesame seeds, or fluffy flatbreads are the tender canvas for countless flavor combinations that arise from these basic elements. For someone who always likes a little bite of something sweet after a bite of something salty or savory, the natural balance built into a Turkish breakfast spread is deeply satisfying.

The occasion is solemn: the breakfast will benefit relief efforts from the earthquake that devastated eastern Turkey on Feb. 6. Seljan D., a volunteer for Sema Foundation, did not grow up in the area most affected by the earthquake, and yet her family was still affected by its damage: “For the earthquake, some of our friends lost a lot of family members. We’re watching news every day to understand what’s going on in Turkey,” she said.
“For me, I felt it, but it’s not just what happened to them: watching TV, news from Turkey, it’s very heartbreaking. A lot of things — I don’t want to talk about the politics — but the people were very helpless in that time, they were expecting the government to come to help, but they couldn’t get enough help in that time. The first couple days are very important, and in that time they didn’t get any help,” Seljan said.
