Turkish cuisine, which comes from a diverse and elaborate culinary culture, shows traditional Turkish recipes and their modern interpretations at a variety of festivals and events organized throughout the year.

Istanbul International Gastronomy Festival aims to create a different perspective by combining traditional Turkish cuisine with international cuisine. The festival serves as a showcase for exquisite tastes, where world class chefs and Turkish chefs share their knowledge and experience in the culinary arts.

In addition, in September of this year, the International Mengen Cooking and Tourism Festival will be organized, which will showcase the culinary skills of world-famous chefs from Bolu. The festival offers, among other things, a competition with numerous traditional and local dishes prepared by Bolu’s master chefs.

In addition, Turkey organizes many local and international tasting days and taste festivals, where foodies can try different flavors and spice up their palates.
