Cooking Classes in Turkey
Your cooking vacation in Turkey highlights the emphasis the Turkish food puts on simple dishes, prepared with the freshest ingredients. Turkish cuisine is defined by its regions. Although there are some constants, the koefte (meatballs), pasta, and thin crepe-like breads, the ingredients used to prepare these Turkish delicacies vary across the country. Milk and yoghurt are commonly used in Turkish cooking. Roasted meats (kebabs), legumes, bulgur wheat, and dishes combining meat, cheese and dough or pastry are an integral part of the culinary culture. Vegetables – particularly eggplant – play a large role both in the meze (small hot or cold appetizer plates) and in the main dishes and are frequently stuffed with other vegetables or a mix of meat and rice. Desserts range from delicate phyllo pastries such as baklava, to rich puddings, spiced, poached fruits with sweet syrup and nuts, and, of course, Turkish Delight. Your hands-on cooking classes combined with market visits and food tours will introduce you to the amazing variety of dishes that result from the endless combination of simple foods.
