The Taste of Istanbul and Anatolian Food Culture

About

A big part of traveling and experiencing a new culture is exploring the local cuisine. In the case of Turkey, there is a wide variety of tastes and influences. Turkish cuisine is largely the heritage of Ottoman cuisine, which can be described as a fusion and refinement of Central Asian, Middle Eastern, and Balkan cuisines. Turkish cuisine has in turn influenced other cuisines in the region and beyond.

This course provides an introduction to the rich Turkish Culinary Culture by way of theoretical information, practical lessons in the state-of-the-art kitchens of Istanbul Aydin University’s Gastronomy Department, and a tasting trip to Istanbul.
