Joan Peterson, author of “Eat Smart in Turkey,” invites you to “embark on a tasting adventure” with her from September 27th to October 6th, 2010 in Turkey. We've interviewed Joan here before, about her excellent book, Eat Smart Sicily - and are happy to share information on her upcoming tour to Turkey:
Come with us on a culinary odyssey through Ottoman and modern Turkey, and get to the heart of the culture through an exploration of its scrumptious cuisine and wine. Sample the infinite variety of regional Turkish specialties in their natural setting. Delve into the secrets of Turkish dishes by participating in a cooking class. Visit bustling markets to learn about the herbs, spices and condiments prevalent in Turkish cookery. You’ll come away with a knowledge of the culinary traditions of Turkey and a deep appreciation of the magnitude of history and culture that this ancient land possesses.
But it’s not all about food and wine. We’ll see the major tourist sights in Istanbul, in the Aegean and in magical Cappadocia, where we can take a sunrise balloon ride and gently soar above its surreal lunar landscape before landing for a champagne breakfast. And, we’ll still have time to shop and relax along the way.
