The recipes include Turkish Yogurt Soup (Yogurt Corbasi), Flatbread with a ground meat and vegetable topping (Yaglama), and Arugula Salad.
Soups, -“Corba” in Turkish-, form a very important part of Turkish diet; almost every dinner, especially in cooler months, start with soup in Turkish households.
This simple but delicious yogurt based soup, Yayla Corbasi, originates back to Anatolia’s earliest settlers and nomadic herdsman, and it is one of the most popular soups in Turkey, flavored with dried mint and paprika flakes.
Kayseri Usulu Yaglama makes use of the flat breads that had been a part of Turkish cuisine since the 6th century. Turkish Nomads had been making flat breads while they were in Central Asia; they made their way to today’s Turkey through the centuries and haven’t stopped making these flatbreads since then!
“Yaglama is as important as Manti (Turkish ravioli) in Kayseri Cuisine”. Kayseri also has a rich historical heritage dating back to c. 3000 BCE. The city is a mesmerizing historical settlement and the local cuisine is heavenly, so worth the trip. Kayseri also makes a great stop en route to the fascinating Cappadocia.
