If you have been checking my blog periodically, thank you. I am sorry that I have been so terrible at updating it. I would like to thank summer Organic Chemistry for giving me a proper excuse for not having updated my blog for the past... forever.
Anyway, to pick up where I have left off, here is Day 3 in Istanbul.
We thought it would be silly to skip on the Grand Bazaar and the Spice Bazaar so we decided to dedicate an entire day to it. Oh, and of course an afternoon cooking class! So, in between our bazaar explorations, we stopped by a random restaurant for lunch and it turned out to be better than expected! I ordered this eggplant dish with lamb in between and some roasted tomatoes and peppers as you can see in the picture below, and it was actually quite delicious! It also didn't hurt that the restaurant was air conditioned!
Then, we headed over to our cooking class at Cooking Alaturka. It was absolutely an amazing experience and I think we had our best meal in Istanbul there.
Us just prepping some tomaters.
Delicious eggplants roasting away.
And here are our final results:
Red Lentil Bulgur Soup
Type of green beans stewed and zucchini pancakes on the side
Lamb stew with roasted eggplant on the bottom
Dried figs stuffed with walnuts!
And of course some turkish coffee and fig flavored liquor to wrap up our epic meal!
Not only was the food fantastic, but we also had a great meal and we got to meet some awesome people as well!
