Turkish Cuisine Comes to Athens

123Due to its geographical position, at the crossroads between Europe and Asia, Turkey has many culinary influences which make its cuisine irresistible, as the country itself.
For this reason, distinguished chefs from the Sheraton Istanbul Maslak Hotel will come to peak the flavor cooking original Turkish dishes in an event which will take place at the Hotel Arion Resort Spa, AstirPalace, from April 12 to 21.
The 2nd Turkish Cuisine Festival is a sequel of the initiatives taken by Astir Palace to incorporate ethnic style cuisines and offer the opportunity to the culinary Athenian public to experience the rich heritage of Turkish cuisine.
4433Visitors will be able to taste original Turkish dishes and desserts such as Anadolu kebab, Adana kebab, stuffed eggplant with minced meat and rice, lamb with eggplant and tomato sauce, traditional baklava, kataifi (resembles shredded wheat) and ravani.
The restaurant Il Tramonto will be opened on the weekdays and weekends from 19:00 to 00:00.
During the Festival there will be a draw for a journey in Istanbul for 2 people, offering a stay at the Sheraton Istanbul Maslak Hotel. Tickets are sponsored by Turkish Airlines.
The Turkish Cuisine Festival is organized under the auspices of the Embassy of Turkey in cooperation with Turkish Airlines, and the magazine Athens Insider.
2233Turkish cuisine is largely the heritage of Ottoman cuisine, which can be described as a fusion and refinement of Central Asian, Middle Eastern and Balkan cuisines. The Turkish cuisine has in turn influenced them and other neighbouring cuisines, including those of Western Europe. The Ottomans fused various culinary traditions of their realm with influences from Middle Eastern cuisines, along with traditional Turkic elements from Central Asia (such as yogurt), creating a vast array of specialities—many with strong regional associations.
