#62 Learning From Turkey’s Delicious Cuisine

 Today we’re going to be talking about what we can learn from Türkiye about food, and cooking.  We'll be inspired by the rich culinary heritage of Türkiye, and learn a bit about their cultural eating habits, things they do when cooking, etc. Firstly, Türkiye generally follows the Mediterranean diet principles. Their cuisine is heavily influenced by the Mediterranean diet, which people say is one of the healthiest dietary patterns. Olive oil is a staple food used both in cooking, and on salads and dishes. Their meals are rich in vegetables, legumes, whole grains, and fresh herbs. They do eat dairy, fish, and poultry, but in moderation, and they don't use a lot of processed foods or refined sugars. Their plates typically include grains like bulgur rice and protein like beans, yogurt, or meat with vegetables.  Let's get inspired!
