Why Börek deserves more attention

Börek rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The richly savory complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using sumac correctly takes real skill.

the meze tradition of small shared dishes predates the main course. I encountered it first in a home dinner table and that context helped me understand it properly. ayran yoghurt drink is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Börek is the dish to start with.
