Select points you in the right direction through the local
maze of restaurants and eateries by carefully selecting and
updating the very best on offer, from trendy, upscale restaurants
to more modest, traditional lokantas, to enable you to discover
the richness of Turkish cuisine, its variety and freshness.
At your request we can arrange unique “gastronomic
tours” which will delight all five senses, combining the
pleasure of fine dining with the beauty of the setting and
the warmth and hospitality of the hosts.
 For
food lovers among you, we can organise Turkish cooking
lessons, where you will have the opportunity to learn
about the ingredients and turn them into a delicious meal,
fresh from the market.
Turkey offers you one of the greatest
cuisines of the world, comparable to French, Italian, Chinese
and Indian. Exotic spices of the East are widely used to create
delicious and exciting tastes. Only the freshest ingredients
are chosen to prepare the most inviting and succulent meals.
 Turkey
is such a wide country that almost everything is home produced,
from the dazzling variety of fruit and vegetables to the juicy
hand-reared meats and freshly-landed fish.
Take a visit to the vegetable market where
you will find plump and darkly-gleaming aubergines which are
prepared in so many different, delicious ways; shiny courgettes
and their flowers, with their subtle taste; all shapes of
okra; colourful peppers; the piquant pimento or the indispensable
coriander. Then there are the melons and cherries, pomegranates
and bananas, peaches and apricots, figs and mulberries, walnuts,
hazelnuts and almonds, the big, fat pistachios and all the
citrus fruits.
 Every
meal in Turkey begins with a selection of “meze”: mouth-watering
selection of delicate savoury pastries, purees and salads,
spiced yoghurts and wonderful cheeses. Mezes are usually followed
by chicken or meat, both of them charcoal grilled or roasted,
marinated or minced, stewed or braised, guaranteed to excite
and delight your palate. The fish in Turkey is particularly
delicious, snatched daily either from the sea or from cool,
rushing streams: nothing can be more exquisite than a fresh
seabass simply grilled, gently brushed with olive oil, lemon
and herbs, and served on a bed of crispy, tangy arugula leaves. |
