Authentic Turkish Food

[slartibartfast]

I can't believe I have never heard of Mosaick Bahce before.   Where in Fethiye is it ?

I reckon 3 Cheers in Ovacik is top notch for traditional turkish food but not in a quaint traditional turkish food setting.

I cook authentic Thai but I'm not Thai
The main thing in cooking authentic food is using authentic and fresh ingredients
And methods

Yes and some people are Turkish and cook total rubbish that is a product of their imagination rather than anything remotely authentic. Thus some are cooking authentic Turkish food and some are authentic Turkish, cooking food.

That's about it in a nutshell......ha ha ha...it's like banging your head against a wall isn't it a lot of the time Mr S.....

Do we not need to be careful when using the term authentic given that the food served in Mozaic is not from the Fethiye region (says he as though he knows what he is talking about )

Yes, my local Indian isn't cooking traditional Perth authentic curries either. They say the recipes are from India.

Alright then H.....fantastic food, cooked really well, tastes amazing, totally different from the norm and a really good price.
How about that.....true....

Absolutely June - the only point I was trying to make was that other regions of Turkey will have authentic receipts which may, or may not be a popular as that served by Nicola and Dogan.

Mr H and I fondly remember the lovely Kartal cooking us lamb in a hole in the ground at the back of Cafe Sol because that "was the way it used to be done". He also made us a "traditional/authentic" soup which made our mouths tingle.

Authentic ? - I don't know, but as June pointed out, all that matters was that it was goregeous.

Why argue? Cook your own traditional/authentic Turkish food. http://english.turkishcookbook.com/
