Description
Dağdeviren's geographic organisation of Turkish cuisine reveals an extraordinary spice diversity across eight distinct regional traditions — each reflecting the agricultural, climatic, and cultural history of its area. The Black Sea coast uses butter and corn; the Aegean uses olive oil and wild herbs; Gaziantep uses pomegranate, walnut, and pul biber; Central Anatolia uses yogurt and lamb; the Marmara region uses the Ottoman palace culinary inheritance. Understanding these distinctions prevents the homogenisation error of treating Turkish cooking as a single tradition.
