Itinerary

This is not a cooking workshop, it's a "Sultan experience"! Come and treat yourself to a 4-course Ottoman feast fit for a Sultan! We'll set the scene so you feel the grandeur of the Ottoman Empire. All you need to do is bring your appetite and enjoy the following: Soup Almond Soup - a festive dish made from milk, butter, stock, sweet and bitter almonds with ground nutmeg and pomegranate seeds Appetizers Ottoman Hummus - a tasty mezze made from mashed chickpeas, tahini and olive oil with cumin, garlic and roasted pine nuts Spinach Piruhi - homemade ravioli stuffed with spinach and an assortment of cheeses Muhammad bin Mahmud Sirvani Cheese Pie - thin sheets of pastry rolled with six types of cheese and peas, fried and served with honey Main Course Goose Kebab - shredded goose meat rolled and baked with rice in a sheet of pastry (a palace recipe during Fatih Sultan Mehmet's reign) OR Lamb Shank with Keskek - the side dish "keskek" is an Anatolian tradition, made of boiled wheat marinated with butter Dessert Baklava - after baking to perfection, a sweet syrup is immediately poured over the pieces allowing the syrup to soak into the layers (14th-century recipe) Drinks 1 house wine OR 2 beers OR 3 soft drinks We hope your tour will be a memorable one and we look forward to see you in the future on another TravelShop Booking Tour. Have a safe trip back home and thanks for choosing TravelShop Booking.
