a sex act i'm as a meal times a more benign mitchell as you know michelin of fish the only cause of this is actually falls on the. cement just so integrity to the turkish diet that it's used as a measure for the cost of living. the ubiquity and popularity of foods such as sim it and have turned them into something of a national dish and symbol of turkish pride. istanbul's where asia and europe embrace the world's only city straddling two continents. the reign of the ottomans heralded

a new chapter of the turkish society and disproved. and the imperial kitchen was where it all began. the start of the cuisine that would influence and instruct a nation to send troops. top cappie palace the fulcrum of ottoman power and prosperity. this is where the magic happens the palace kitchen it how is that to that one hundred members of stuff you know the coax their systems helps to explain why you've got all these giant pots there was such fierce competition not just to getting but to get ahead so these cooks would bring recipes from their own villages their own regions and then they also inventing new ones and then affecting them and then trying to one up each other. style the military the cooks were all going i

stood to call and companies each with different speciality s. . meanwhile outside counsel walls people absorbing palace cuisine into their own cooking styles creating new customs that continued to evolve. just like the institution of weekend breakfast. meet car han and use a car could you this young couple has transformed their passion for pre-season and culture interest excess wonder price they run food to us for visitors to istanbul

and i could explain the traditional turkish breakfast to me. i need. this as a lot of work people have this for breakfast every day well more than ever the disses on a sunday morning just like we are doing now breakfast is. actually true it's coming together. under the coffee so people quickly during the autumn period people were critically having is something to eat so that they could start drinking their coffee that's why it was called under the coffee that name was given. during the ultraman empire and at that time because he was quite poor filler because there was an easy access to do coffee feels like it

was in. it was enough but after the first full second trait was caught it was expensive and it was not a local product so that's why we started drinking tea. she must own a breakfast for a lot of turkish people we can just take any of these foods away from the table and still call it a breakfast but if these teas not on the table it's not going to be called breakfast anymore. i will thank you for hot truth it was great thank you so much. you can't understand turkish cuisine without knowing something about this spicy. the ottomans control the only spice rid of the fifteenth century and set rigorous standards to ensure quality. to the

experts and spices such as i dare to suggest continue to hand down their wrist and to the younger generations so what are some of the spices that you sell here to. pull rivers chink of it in. or what. that. up to me to give you. that. are going to be healed looks to me baby and she should know that that you are you know. whenever i think of turkish cuisine i think of sumac. to get the edition from one. chick in the book. of all the unique names china. now usually when i think of sumac i think of it as a powder it's grown. so our costs right here.

a familiar face in turkish households as a t.v. chef and entrepreneur. meeting at a restaurant in the complex of istanbul's largest mosque saleman. welcome how do you do very well very well traditional turkish you know it's very good to me. thank you. most important thing about the ottoman empire is that it was an empire of nations they let them preserve their cultures they let them to go on with their own craftsmanship the old cooking and all kinds of business or stuff that they do the jews kept what they were doing they are many and skip the romans kept what they were doing so this brought up the all to an empire with a colorful and and rich pusey any this one called all things delight

internationally but the staircase name is in charge and the it looks quite heavy to me was autumn increasing healthy we know that the often salt. and resistance were quite strong strong and build up they were highly fed on proteins you know they used oil they used the lamp and they lived long they live very long the average ultimate man's life was like say one two or sixty years old which was compared to those times quite a long time or the ottoman empire was one of the very first governments so to speak passing laws in the freshness of food quite important in the ultimate because any was that it was seasonal goes it's full of meat town full of protein and before the eighteenth century i should say there were no tomato potato in the autumn i can see what was coming to your plate belonged to that sees that's important and still in the turkish traditional turkish cuisine in the same thing goes on it's an important thing. from the palace to the people

the ottoman legacy lives on inspiring a new generation of chefs like young ladies as they capture and read vision turkish cooking. istanbul's often visited for a sponsor yet it's also very much a modern metropolis urban population is swelling look patents are changing and as a result. the street food is rising highly skilled masters or serve a popular dishes such a stuffed mussels no money no matter it done to your gentleman. those don't earn a mule on the go which traces its roots to the early farmers who ate meats cooked over can't fires. a popular local brewery

speckle juice the tart brine used to kill vegetables. it's not milkshake i'll tell you that it's regarded as a health drink which detoxes an aids digestion ok. and to sweeten the palate down derma turkish ice cream. that. is a loss to consistency comes from solid a flour meat from the tubers of wild gets so endangered that turkey for bits is export here to food and drink in turkey is a one hundred forty billion dollar industry. and young entrepreneurs are showing they can still offer something different. turkish friends have recommended i try a new delivery service that's making waves. are

co-owners of a successful startup that marries tradition and convenience. are all victims to provide the shoes turkish food this is not turkish meat pour some vegetables after us this is our signature one of signature dishes saddam are or. are we were struggling to find this kind of. basically this food is the main food which is. in the house our mothers cook this food we eat as such people these foods sees our child some of the food it takes hours to cook and also you can't cook it for

one plate usually is a big portion yeah what happens is the local restaurants cook it in pounds and they try to sell so that too little time and when they finish with it they close the restaurant and they go away so right so you're professionals and hungry at five pm you're trying to figure out how you can get your money now there as well so issues around you know you need to pack it but you know it shouldn't leave here so it's not only the pace it's not only you know filling your stomach it should look nice also in most western countries people don't have time to cook almost and here the cooking you see traditionally is done by women homes how is that changing it's changing quite fast. when are working now they don't have time to go let's say a couple with two children they don't have time for you know dinners. they say ok that's a good alternative to first world because it's healthy and deliberate terms it's

fast it's convenient for it ok why do i need to order a with a hamburgers. or a gun or for the number of consumers which will be demanding this service will increase in time there's what we see. if you don't put your body your emotions your positive energy into your or it's not going to be tasteful meal. so what are you expansion plans. in two thousand so i want to start planning to expand turkey because all of the we have a lot of interest wrong i mean the least trees from eastern europe and also from north america i know good poetry and i'm a huge fan of turkish for thank you. read. that article but. as yet home

cooking hasn't completely disappeared. there's such a wealth of fresh ingredients produced locally that mess than five percent of its imported. so good to see you doing it see you. sup with me again to give you twelve one of the many markets. great thing about living and cooking. you eat the fish that is called this morning this is like the black sea region of turkey like the bread of the people who live there the gills show how fresh the fish is. going to be pinkish red so it's.

all. fresh our fish are wonderful. from the market we had drifted in cusa good job and neighborhood. greek some incentives lived together for some troops. building and i think when you think of that they have a very valid and other model. and it took a christian what would a home cook have one is of course after. some from the genocide all of oil and then pepper paste into made up paste is something we all have in our kitchens but you can't go far as putting all the work and work cooking up human garbage the dish i tasted in the sunni manya mosque with the. refuse could has created

a modern take on it which replaces stewed land with dried beef it's a healthier version it's also quicker to meek it's all. dish from eighteen sixty three this is called. dried meat slowly slowly. we make the dough eat the milk. when. the third cleaned up you know these the salton with his wife eugene they also brought their chef french that was doing the best that the ultimate chef was doing them over jeans so they said why not let's mix these up and have a beef on top and they tried it and loved it so let's just do this. the recipe is contemporary but refuse also reveals a time on

a secret of turkish cooking if you're making a sweet this put a bit of salt if you're making a savory dish put a bit of sugar what it does it brings up the flavor guy like that eat. in turkey who does most of the cooking as a whole always women cook now it's changing that men are interested in cooking as well food seems to be such an important part of turkish culture itself what does it mean to you it's my everything. i cannot tell my emotions really well look through food for example for the food i cook i feel it easy for myself to tell emotions so for me cooking is a channel for my ideas for my world which and it embodies what do you think about turkish food where do you put it in the world in

a way i feel it really is the original fusion i would tell everyone. that will come find you. think you turkish crazy brick church centuries of history is experiencing something new for good new songs a new generation of chefs and lovers is keeping traditions growing one precinct modern influences. my journey through istanbul is nearing its end but in so many ways i feel as though i just scratched the surface of this grand cuisine that just turkish food everything my taste in seeds and smell has been a story not just of istanbul but also its people its pounced and its present and they all come together to form one mission city until next time always these three turkish go to shoes.
