Delectable Cuisines

Turkish cuisine, especially Turkish kebabs, is well-known and adored throughout the world, but there is much more to Turkish cuisine than just kebabs. Turkish cuisine is incredibly diverse and all of it is delicious, from pides (flatbread with toppings like meat and cheese, known as the Turkish pizzas) to gozleme (thin pancakes filled with things like potatoes and onions) to manti (ravioli in a yoghurt sauce with chilli oil) to kumpir (a jacket potato filled with as many things as you dare).

Breakfast is one of the best and most popular meals of the day. The Turkish breakfast is huge. No matter where in Turkey you go, you must treat yourself to a classic Turkish breakfast.

Even when you believe you've tasted every dish available in Turkey, visit a new location and you'll be welcomed with something brand-new and delectable. This is because different regions of Turkey have their own specialties. It's virtually difficult to get tired of Turkish food, from Kuymak (a melted cheese dish) and hamsi tava in the Black Sea region to testi kebab (a beef stew cooked in a clay pot wrapped with bread and served literally on fire) in Cappadocia. If you want to sample authentic Turkish food at its best then head to Gaziantep. It is a success in a nation recognized for its cuisine that the city is regarded as Turkey's food capital. Since the food is so excellent, UNESCO designated this place as a city of gastronomy.
