I have just discovered that there is to be a TV programme on Turkish cuisine on the Good Food Channel, Sundays - Thursdays from 16th September 10 p.m. It is a 10 part programme called "Turkish Delight" with Allegra McEvedy. She will be going to different parts of Turkey I believe.
All being well I should be in Kalkan for the first episode but it will get recorded (technology permitting) in my absence.
Only four sleeps to go before setting off to the airport - although as we all know if you have an earlyish flight then it is really only three and half sleeps.
Nearly packed now.............

Thanks for sharing this TL. I will also need to set my record thingy as will also miss the first couple of shows but look forward to catching up. 5 sleeps for me now :D
-
The series looks really good - it says that it is part recipes and part travelogue, visiting Istanbul, Izmir, Antalya and a host of other places including villages. Allegra McEvedy has a good style too so should definitely be worth watching.

sadly I will not need to set my Sky+ for this programme and will be watching from my sofa with a fleecy blanket :(
Far too many sleeps till my next visit to even contemplate....
Thanks for letting us know TL :)

Ah K4E you've got the Carribean to look forward to :D Bet you'll have the time of your life and Kalkan will be waiting for your next visit :) Have a wonderful time and don't forget to let us know all about your adventures :)

Have a great time Tortoise lady we came back on Monday after our ninth visit and as usual had a fantastic time and was very sad to leave behind our lovely Turkish friends, feeling a little melancholy at the moment. Enjoy yourself and have an Efes for us here in gloomy Wales. Cheers!
-
Thanks tortoise lady for the info. Like K4E, I will be watching snuggled in my blanky too, with only a wintery weekend in Dublin to look forward to before we can taste Turkish food on Turkish soil again. :'( I hope all you lucky people who are visiting in the near future have wonderful holidays and make the most of your time there. Not wishing my time away or anything but roll on next summer!!!! :)
-
Yes, I will definitely raise a glass to Forum folks next week in Kalkan. The Turkish Delight programme sounds as if it will be good and I will look forward to watching it on my return - when I will be making plans for my next visit and listing all the restaurants I just must try to fit in. Never enough time to go to all the ones I want to.
-
I know exactly what you mean :) hope you get chance to report back and tell us all about your adventures. Wish we could join you when you raise that glass. :) :)

It will be interesting to know how many forum members will make her receipes ??? ??? Or are we just going to sit there, shed a tear and think of lovely Kalkan - I know what I will be doing :'( :'( :'( :'(

Am enjoying the cookery travelogue on good food chanel(sky247)..very interesting and Allegra certainly has a passion for food along with a healthy appetite..and iv'e found her very entertaining. I'm going to do her chicken guvec recipe...not sure she was wise walking around the spice market in Istanbul with what appeared to be the mitchell brothers poking out of the top of her T shirt :o ..
next one tonight 10pm shes in the Ephesus area cooking lamb stew..mmmm!
-
Ha ha BL. Mitchell Brothers. That tickled my fancy, if that's allowed this time of night?
Enjoying the series too. ;D
