Turkish cuisine reflects the history of the land - the ingredients and flavours of Turkey are a mixture of Central Asian, Middle Eastern and Balkan cuisines, so it is no surprise that the food is fresh and full of flavour.
This 1-day course is an introduction to the key ingredients used in Turkish cuisine. Under the expert guidance of a Le Cordon Bleu chef, you will learn how to make and execute perfect Turkish dishes, learning key Le Cordon Bleu techniques, and knife skills along the way.
