If you count the best cuisines in the world or search through the internet, most probably Turkey will not be on your list. Japan, Italy, China, France, Thailand, India, Greece And Vietnam are some of the former members of the list and maybe Peru, Philippines as some new ones. If you ask some recommendations to the people who loves Turkish food, as a result of superficial assesment you will get some answers such as; lahmacun, kebap, doner. Not the visitors, but Turkish society has to take the responsibility for the damage this limited experience has caused to the country’s gastronomy after wrong marketing strategies and sloppy presentations for years that have continued until today. And it has gradually started to do so. Time to forget about not all but most of the previous touristic Turkish tastes you had or heard and to get ready for a totally different and properly Turkish cuisine experience.
