The Table Where Turkish and Saudi Cultures Meet: A Joint Journey of Two Chefs
It is a fact how important intercultural interactions are in the world of gastronomy. For this reason, attention was drawn to a unique gastronomy event where two different cuisines, Turkish and Saudi food cultures, will meet at the same table.
Famous Turkish chef Ramazan Bingöl and Saudi female chef Faryal al Shaharani blended the traditional flavours of their cultures with modern touches. This event was more than just a culinary presentation, it was a celebration of the cultural ties and gastronomic richness between the two countries. Participants had the opportunity to witness both the rich and deep-rooted flavours of Turkish cuisine and the local and authentic tastes of Saudi cuisine.
