Turkish Cuisine
Turkish cuisine sits at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, drawing from Ottoman traditions. Kebabs come in dozens of varieties, from Adana to the tender Iskender. Turkish breakfasts are legendary feasts with cheeses, olives, eggs, and fresh bread. Meze culture encourages sharing plates of hummus, grape leaves, and smoky eggplant. Baklava and Turkish delight represent a rich confectionery heritage. Tea flows through the day while Turkish coffee carries its own centuries-old ritual.
Turkish cuisine is a magnificent bridge between Eastern and Western culinary worlds.
