'This is Has at his best' - Jamie Oliver
'A modern Turkish bible' - Tom Parker Bowles
'Soulful, inquisitive and thrillingly unpretentious all at once.' - Jimi Famurewa
Think kebabs that bridge generations, stews that tell tales, breads that warm your soul, and desserts that are sweet escapism - draped in buttery layers of history and dripping with syrup. Hasan looks at heritage dishes, eating Adanan kofte in Adana, but also tries local delicacies, like pistachios in Gaziantep.
Though language and culture are shared, Hasan's Cypriot upbringing left mainland Turkey feeling somewhat distant. Arriving on the south coast, he travels across mountains to the corners of the country; not only unveiling culinary traditions, but unearthing the very history that flavours them.
