Why Turkish Delight deserves more attention

Turkish Delight rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The tangy with sumac and pomegranate complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using sumac correctly takes real skill.

Turkish cuisine bridges Central Asian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean influences. I encountered it first in a kebab restaurant at lunchtime 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, Turkish Delight is the dish to start with.
