Agora Turkish Cuisine

The History of Turkish cuisine is the result of the region’s seasonal products and a nomadic diet, combined with a variety of influences from the surrounding regions.The history of modern Turkey began with the arrival of migrants from Central Asia’s Altay Mountains in Anatolia, otherwise known as Asia Minor. These people, the ancestors of the modern Turks, were nomads that depended upon agriculture and the breeding of domestic animals. Their diet was based largely on mutton, goat meat, and beef, and they would prepare their meat in a tandir, an underground oven, or over an open wood or charcoal fire as kebabs.
