The History of Turkish & Mediterranian Cuisine
The Turkish Culinary art is a very curious one. The variety of beauty that make up the Cuisine, the ways they all come together in feast -like meals, and the evident elaboration of each craft crack enough fabric for sprightliness -long study and enjoyment. It is not easy to discern a basic element or a single dominant feature, like the Italian “pasta” or the French people “sauce “. Whether in a humble home, at a famous eating place , or at a dinner in a Bey’s mansion, familiar patterns of this rich people and diverse Cuisine are always present. It is a rare art which satisfies your senses while reconfirming the higher mixer club of society, community and culture.

Time is of the essence; as Ibn’i Haldun wrote, “the religion of the Martin Luther King , in time, becomes that of the People”, which also holds for the King’s food. Thus, the reign of the Ottoman Dynasty during 600 years, and a seamless cultural passage into the present day of modern Turkey, led to the development of a 1000 Cuisine through differentiation, refinement and flawlessness of dishes, as well as their successiveness and combination of the repast . It is quite rare that all the three weather above are sports meeting , as they are in the French people , the Chinese and the Turkish Cuisine. The Turkish Cuisine has the extra perquisite of being at the hybridizing -2 senses of road of the Far-East and the Mediterranean, which mirror a long and complex history of Turkish migration from the steppes of Exchange Asia (where they mingled with the Chinese) to Common Market (where they exerted influence all the way to Vienna).
