Turkish cuisine is now finding its proper place in the culinary world.

Turkey is an agriculturally rich country surrounded by the sea—the perfect situation to supply abundant, high-quality ingredients for the kitchen and the dining table.

Learning how to cook alla Turca is one of the most rewarding experiences of a visit to Turkey, and may be the most valuable and prized souvenir you bring home with you—and the one you will be proudest to demonstrate to your friends. Here are some Turkish cuisine tours and lessons:

Cooking Alaturka
Ms Eveline Zoutendijk
, a Cordon Bleu-educated European chef, assisted by a professional Turkish chef, offers delightful four-hour cooking classes in the fully-equipped kitchen of her new Cooking Alaturka Restaurant on Akbiyik Caddesi in Sultanahmet, Istanbul. After preparing a menu of Ottoman, traditional Turkish and regional dishes, the class sits down to enjoy them for lunch. More...

Turkish Flavours
Half-day cooking courses in Istanbul, chats with gourmet experts, walking tours of the markets, and visits to all the city's major points of historical and cultural interest—in short, all sorts of Turkish Flavours. For real devotees, there's even a 6-day culinary tour of Istanbul, including three half-day cooking classes. More...

Most Turkish dishes are admirably simple and uncomplicated, with one or perhaps two spices or flavorings used in each dish. But such simple cuisine requires fresh ingredients and careful preparation to succeed.

Turkish cuisine delights in variety, from the dozens of different meze ("MEH-zeh," appetizers) to the 40 different ways to prepare aubergine/eggplant.

Although innovation used to be discouraged, with recipes virtually written in stone, creative Turkish chefs are now exploring beyond the confines of the traditional dishes and using a newfound knowledge of the world's other great cuisines to develop and enhance what they learned from their mothers and fathers.
