Why Kebab deserves more attention

Kebab rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The subtly sweet and aromatic complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using Turkish red pepper paste correctly takes real skill.

the meze tradition of small shared dishes predates the main course. I encountered it first in a traditional Ottoman-style restaurant 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, Kebab is the dish to start with.
