Can’t Cook, Won’t Cook
Istanbul Culinary Institute
Monday: Spaghetti with cheese.
Tuesday: Mixed omlette.
Wednesday: Ready-made soup.
Does your culinary repertoire resemble the menu of a badly-run school cafeteria? Time to put on the apron and head to IstCI. The latest addition to end our gastronomic miseries, this one lives up to the cooking hype.
Starters: The institute’s brand new facilities cater to both amateur and serious cooks, with plenty of courses from breadmaking to Italian basics to choose from.
Main: They grow their own in-season vegetables at a farm near Saros, and you get to taste the results at their in-house cafe Enstitu.
Dessert: Also on offer are home-baked breads, as well as own-label rose, pumpkin, quince and pistachio marmalades. Yummy…
Broiling may still be your favourite cooking method, but the end product will no longer be that awful cake you made last time.
