General Session IX : Keeping Turkish Traditions Alive: From Home to Restaurant and Beyond
Acclaimed Turkish chef, restaurateur, cookbook author, and one of the most popular Worlds of Flavor presenters in its twenty-five-year history, Musa Dağdeviren, is back once again to explore this year’s theme of authenticity, flavor, and the future in a way that only he can. This world-renowned chef is known for bridging the worlds of home cooks and the professional kitchen, where he recreates traditional Turkish recipes and dishes for a new generation at restaurants including the modest Çiya Sofrası in Istanbul whose rotating menu highlights every region of the country. For this chef, ingredients and recipes have deep meaning and he is one of the people keeping Turkey’s unique food traditions alive. He’ll touch upon these ideas and more in this much anticipated demo.
