Cooking Alaturka
Saturday, October 3, 2009
We left Istanbul this morning on our way to our first port of call in mykonos.But what a great decision it was to take the cooking class with Eveline at her little cooking school.We shared the experience with eight other couples, each person cutting, chopping, and mixing the ingredients for 5 separate dishes.
Eveline is a trained chef who came to work in Turkey as a chef in a large hotel.Then she moved over to rent a hotel property which she ran for herself.When the property was not available she didn't know quite what she would do so went back to her roots with this idea...teach people on location how to cook Turkish style meals.
We had a lot of fun creating the meal and learned a lot in the process. One of the items was a stuffed eggplant dish.I am not a fan of eggplant but this was exceptional.After the food was cooked we all sat together over a couple of glasses of wine to consume what we had cooked.We have he recipes to recreate for guests, and we have new knowledge which can be applied to other recipes as well.I strongly recommend this as a good way to appreciate the tastes of Turkey.
