The journey of Turkish food culture has been in continuous development from the past, beginning from Central Asia, Seljuk, and Ottoman Empire to Republican eras, and has excelled.
The great diversity of fauna and flora in Turkiye also contributed to a great variety of regional cuisines. The Western and Turkish Aegean cuisine is based on the remnants of the Ottoman court and the Greek cuisine with a preference for rice over the bulgur.
Fewer spices are used, compared to other regional Turkish cuisines, and seafood is abundant and enjoyed in any season.
In addition to being the refined product of centuries of experience, Turkish Cuisine has a very pure quality. The variety and simplicity of the recipes and the quality of the ingredients are guarantees delicious meals.
Kebab are dishes of plain or marinated meat either stewed or grilled. Almost every district of Anatolia has its own kebap specialty.
Lamb is the basic meat of the Turkish kitchen. Pieces of lamb are threaded on a skewer and grilled over charcoal to make the famous Shish kebab known in many countries of the world.
