Best chefs of the magnificent period, during many centuries, created their culinary masterpieces for the Sultans and their courtiers. Recipes were carefully stored and transmitted from one generation to another! Unfortunately, with the fall of the Ottoman Empire, this unique legacy almost completely disappeared and became oblivious.
We believe that this is wrong and unfair! And we really want to fix it!!
