Turkey & Greece connected through taste
Greece and Turkey have a long connected history, that we can still observe through their common gastronomy. The two cuisines exhibit a mixture of Eastern and Western elements. Especially, after the population exchange in 1923 the people who arrived in Greece, upgraded the plain cuisine of the mainland Greece, adding to it a little bit of spice. The food that the refugees brought, mostly kept their original Turkish names. That’s why the Greeks still use the “politiki” cuisine term, meaning the cuisine of Istanbul. Besides providing delicious recipes, this book intends to share some facts about history and culture of these two nations by looking at the tradition of some Turkish and Greek recipes. Enjoy!
