15 Dec Minority Cuisine Friend’s Dinner
December 15, 2015, Moda Sea Club
Guest Speakers: Ceni Franko, Karen Gerson Şarhon, Mariya Simyonidis, Selİn&Ayda Tokatlıoğlu, Takuhi Tovmasyon
The Istanbul Cuisine is one of the most unique examples of the synthesis of Eastern and Western influences in culinary culture… Classic Turkish flavors combined with the traditional cultures of minorities inherited from the Ottoman era such as Greek, Armenian, and Jewish. The Istanbul tables, blended by minority cultures from Byzantium to the present day, are a colorful mosaic. Of course, it’s not possible to introduce each of these magnificent cuisines, each containing its own richness, in a single evening event. In this special evening, we experienced a delightful journey through the cuisines of minorities in a friendly atmosphere, accompanied by tastes, musical notes, and cultural conversations. Supported by the Representatives of Minority Foundations, Toros Alcan and former Representative Laki Vingas, the evening marked the first and general presentation of our friend’s dinner series titled “Minority Cuisines”.
