Hello, Firstly, I would
like to state that this website is dedicated and belongs to
our senior teacher chefs as its true owners who have allowed
for its preparation by transferring their knowledge,
manners, experience and the development of the art of
cookery upon myself.
For some time now
I had hoped for a project such as this and have long delayed
in the hope of younger generations to pursuing it, they who
would introduce and illustrate with a universal language our
kitchen culture, our food and drink traditions with its
individual methods and equipment prescribed by the
Ottoman-Turkish kitchen via a website, this website. |

|
The aim for the
introduction of this site is for an educational explanation
and demonstration of the methods of Ottoman-Turkish cuisine.
With this project being a first around the world, it will
allow us to illustrate and for you to learn the Turkish
kitchen in all its glory with its use of olive oils, soups,
from its saucepan cuisine to its kebabs and doner, dolma
(stuffed vegetables), pilaf (rice) to its traditional sweets
and compote and of how rich and tasty Turkish cuisine is.
Through the site
you will comfortably be able to locate detailed information
with pictures and learn of herbs, spices and plants that
have never been used in other kitchens around the world.
Recipes have been given with technical practicality. All
recipes have been, with curative herbs included within the
site to illustrate ease and result in picture form with
detailed notes and all recipes are made within the concept
of “balanced nutrition’s for a healthy lifestyle". He is
very please to have worked with the best chefs from whom he
learnt a lot. Once more he would like to thank to maitre
chef des cuisine Georg Fuchs.

In addition, I see
upon myself a duty as the honorary cultural and tourism
ambassador to promote our beautiful country Turkey and its
national history, culture, art and tourist values and with
it to promote the worlds most magnificent and beautiful city
Istanbul.
As a chef
executing the art of cuisine I would like to end my note
with a formula of universal kitchen rules, “the beautiful
thought of beautiful produce should be no other than the
beautiful produce of beautiful thought”.
