The basics of Turkish cuisine

Turkish cuisine is diverse and unique. The ingredients are all about what you want your dish to taste like, and the spices that go into it will be determined by where in Turkey you find yourself. Turkish dishes can range from sweet desserts or spicy snacks with a distinct spice profile as well as many different types of vegetables, cheeses, meats and grains used for main courses such as kebabs or pilafs. There are also some significant influences on Turkish cuisine when paired up with other countries’ foodways due to their proximity; Istiklal Street in Istanbul has been described not only as “the cultural centre of modern secular Turkey but also one of its major tourist attractions”t!

Catering with Turkish Cuisine

Turkish cuisine is a style of cooking that developed with many influences from the Middle East, Ottoman Empire and Balkans. Turkish dishes rely heavily on vegetables such as eggplant (aubergine), peppers, spinach and artichokes; pulses like chickpeas or broad beans; fresh herbs such as mint, dill and parsley for flavour--and yogurt. Lamb is popular in Turkey due to Islamic dietary laws which allow followers to consume it despite its forbidden status by Judaism. Common meats include beef - a rarity in other parts of Europe until modern times- poultry (chicken or turkey) are also very common but not eaten without first being cooked because their religious significance makes them taboo even after they have been slaughtered according to halal customs. It’s hard to go wrong with Turkish food even for your special events that need catering because you can feel fancy taste every slice of Turkish dishes.

What to serve at your event

If you're hosting a social event like a wedding and want to serve mezes, here are some good options:
>> Tzatziki: This meze is made from yogurt, cucumber and dill. It can be served as an appetizer or as a meal on its own.
>> Sarma: Sarma is a vine leaf prepared by stuffing rice, herbs, onions and ground lamb inside. It can be served as an appetizer or as a meal on its own.
