Seven programmes on the food of the Mediterranean, introduced and narrated by Claudia Roden. 3: Turkey
No country has influenced the food of the Mediterranean as much as Turkey. Kebabs, stuffed vegetables, rice pilaffs, milk puddings and 'yufka,' the paper-thin dough you probably know as 'filo,' are but a few examples of the sophisticated cuisine that developed in Istanbul over 500 years of Ottoman rule. Top restaurant chefs in magnificent white hats, and good home cooks filmed in their own kitchens, show how to prepare some of the best, yet simplest, homely dishes.
