Description
Topik London is a supper club project founded by Irem Aksu two years ago, who switched from the newsroom to the kitchen. Topik London - "Food Without Borders" mainly draws on Istanbul's culinary history and is about celebrating the food of minority cultures in Turkey. Led by chef Irem Aksu, Topik London's supper club share a storytelling menu of untold flavours from the people of Istanbul's homes to the Ottoman Palace kitchen.
7 Hills of Istanbul "festive" supper showcases the unique culinary heritage of Istanbul, with Irem's recipes inspired by her upbringing in the city.
Old Istanbul or Constantinople was built on seven hills. Each hill has a historic importance rooted back to the Roman and Ottoman empires - where the city’s diverse cuisine and culture come from.
“The Seven Hills of Istanbul” supper club represents what Istanbul cuisine is today and what it was in the past. Therefore the menu created by Irem will include inspirations and influences of the peoples’ of Istanbul – encompassing dishes from different families, neighbours, and memories from across centuries. This is distinct from the other regions of Turkey.
Irem will bring the traditional and modern cooking together at the dinner table. It is a journey from local dishes of streets of Istanbul to the palace kitchen coated up human stories. The use of seasonal food is central to real Istanbul cuisine, which is reflective of the 7 hills of the city. So expect pure Istanbul on your plates!
Turkish cuisine often conjures up very limited images such as kebab, baklava and Turkish delight. On the contrary, the 7 hills of Istanbul "festive" supper club features mostly seafood based dishes, delicate plant based and meaty meze plates and pudding.
The menu will be annouced very soon on www.topik.london
In the meatime think about almond soup from the palace, mussels with aromatic rice, Circassian chicken - shredded chicken with rich walnut sauce, spoon sweets and a selection of Turkish wines from Thracian region to Anatolia - from local producers using indigenous grape varieties.
...and Irem's interview below Munchies link to give you more ideas about the host and her food.
