“The Turkish Culinary Arts Workshop, where traditional and contemporary Turkish cuisine, Ottoman palace cuisine and world cuisine are handled with an inclusive approach, is important in terms of being a first. With this, we aim to train gastronomy experts who have the equipment and innovation needed by the industry and can synchronize their professional skills with the world. In the workshop, we aim to leave heritage flavors to the world by training professional chefs who have the qualifications needed in the field of gastronomy, follow academic and current developments, and interpret Turkish and world culinary arts with an interdisciplinary understanding.”
