Across the Aegean, out of Europe and into Turkey! Well, out of Europe unless, by coincidence, everything I cooked is regional to Thrace. We do have one more transcontinental country coming up soon but otherwise these posts will all be Asian or in the Americas (with a possible brief hop over to a country that is technically Africa) until we cross the Atlantic in autumn. Apologies for anyone who wanted an Australasian post!

As for why I cooked Turkish - firstly, I like Turkish food. Also if I’m going west to east immediately after Greece seems about the right time to cook Turkish.
