For most of us, the food memories we hold most dear, began with the cooking of our mothers, grandmothers and their places of origin. I travel the globe with this in mind, with food as my way into the cultural traditions of the places I visit. Whenever possible, I seek out an opportunity to learn, from the mothers and grandmothers I meet, what a destination’s food culture has to offer. My first day in Istanbul, I spent a half-day in the kitchen with Selin Rozanes of Turkish Flavours.
