Try The World: A Taste of TURKEY
“Turkish cuisine is, to my mind, one of the most exciting and accomplished in the world.” Yotam Ottolenghi
Try The World: A Taste of TURKEY
With culinary influences borrowed from many surrounding countries and cultures, Turkish cuisine is defined by diversity. Dolmas (stuffed grape leaves) and kofta (a meatball dish), for example, are prominent in one region, while fish and kebabs dominate another. Discover a variety of Turkish food products including local delicacies in our online food store. Try The World – Turkey
Try The World: A Taste Of TURKEY: When I think of the Republic of Turkey, a transcontinental nation sharing borders with eight countries, I think of its grand and impressive 600+ year history of Ottoman Empire rule which brought many influences into the region. I think of the famed imperial palace of Istanbul and its elaborate kitchen that created/prepared a fusion of the best Turkish/Ottoman cuisine adopted and refined from foods curated in Central Asia, the Caucasus, the Middle East, the Mediterranean, and Balkan regions. The expanse of this ancient empire gave it access to a wide range of foods; plus, they controlled the spice trade.
In the land of culinary kismet, food held a high place of honor both in the palace and among the ordinary folk in the regions. Turkish Cuisine is considered one of the best in the world and for good reason. Like many folks in the neighboring countries, Turks are locavores which means they love to cook locally sourced and seasonal foods that come from farm to table maintaining a high quality of freshness. This culinary tour of Turkey has come with items recommended by the wonderful Chef Nurdan Erdem, head chef and owner of Enfes NYC. Chef Nurdan Erdem offers some of the best pop-up street food in the city and has a brick-and-mortar eatery in Rego Park, NY. She is credited with introducing the hugely popular Turkish Burrito gözleme to gastronomes in the city. So, you can imagine that I was ecstatic to find a box full of Turkish foods/treats/delights from Try The World on my doorstep. If enjoying the finest foods from around the world is a gift you’d like to share with friends and family this holiday season then the TTW – TURKEY subscription box has your name on it. Sit tight for this ride.
“I already knew a lot of techniques from observing my mom and my grandma, and I think when I was older it was just my time to learn to do something on my own and enjoy it. When you enjoy, you actually learn.” Chef Nurdan Erdem

Urfa chillies are a Turkish variety that are mild on heat but big on aroma. They’re sweet, smoky, a lovely dark red, and go with just about anything. Yotam Ottolenghi
I wanted to find a unique product to sell that was not already available in NYC. I found that gözleme [a traditional savory Turkish flatbread, hand-rolled with various fillings and grilled] was only sold in cold containers in deli sections, and it only had one type of ingredient in it. Chef Nurdan Erdem
What’s inside my Try The World – Turkey Box? Every box of curated gourmet items includes a spice, sweet, traditional food that folks love and cherish in the country of origin, a Culture Guide that walks you through the history of each item, the family behind the farm or company, and a few recipes to try with your food items. If you so choose, you may use the items to create your own recipes or add them to your favorite foods… that is the beauty of enjoying foods from around the world. For our journey into the land of Turkish foods, my box came with eight (8) carefully curated items selected by Chef Nurdan Erdem, head chef and owner of Enfes NYC famous for being the one place you can find gözleme which is a savory, hand-rolled traditional Turkish flatbread filled with all sorts of delicacies. It is the ultimate street food with the freshest ingredients to boot. Stay tuned for a full description.

“Everyone asks me why someone Turkish is making Greek yogurt. In Greece, it is not called ‘Greek yogurt.’ Everywhere in the world, it is called ‘strained yogurt.’ But because it was introduced in this country by a Greek company, they called it ‘Greek yogurt.'” Hamdi Ulukaya

Wooooo a 20% off sale!! I love a good deal, I will have to check them out!
I don’t know much about Turkey’s cuisine but I’ve heard from friends how much they enjoy it! It would be nice to get a taste of their food!
I have some really good friends immigrate from Turkey and I always found their food to be quite tasty. I haven’t found many Turkish restaurants near me unfortunately, I think there should be more.
I enjoyed reading your last Taste the World post, full of Mexican flavors. Food from Turkey is not as familiar for me, but that’s what makes it even more alluring.
Turkish cuisine is really wonderful. Have to try these ones as well.
I love that your posts always include snippets of history! This box looks delicious!
Those products look so nice! Turkey never fails to surprise the world with its beauty.
that’s a detailed review about the products.. Never been to turkey but can get a taste of turkey now
I love the Turkish food! Growing up in a nearby country, with a harbour connected directly to Turkey, I had access to many of the delicacies of the Turkish cuisine. I love the Turkish delight, it’s so good especially when you try it with a cup of Turkish tea.
What a thoughtful gift to give. I love how the collection is unlike anything that I could purchase in a store here.
This is so interesting, I had not heard of this company before and will check them out to see what other countries they offer in a box. Getting a subscription is a great way to experience other country cuisine for myself or to give them as a gift. My taste buds appreciate this post. 🙂
My grandma used to bring me Turkish sweets when they traveled by the region and they are delicious! I wish I could try a few more interesting goodies from there and other exotic areas!
I like Turkish cuisine, i like mix of usual and unusual there. The sweets are absolutely brilliant!
This truly looks lovely! I agree especially with the ‘leadership’ quote.
Wow! This truly looks lovely! I especially agree with the ‘leadership’ quote!
I really want to taste Turkish dish ..I will use that code to get 20% off and try out the cuisine.
I love learning about the food and culture of other countries. Thank you so much for sharing this information on Turkey. I love that incorporating fresh and local ingredients is part of the culture. That’s something that I need to work on in my own life. I look forward to reading more from you!
Did you try Turkish coffee? It’s really nice, I love it! And they also have some amazing sweets.
Turkey looks like it is rich in flavor profiles. I’ve been reading your Try The World posts and this box looks like such a great way to try new things. Great for the holidays.
I do like Dried apricots but have not thought of them as Turkish/Ottoman Cuisine. 25% off makes trying some of this new cuisine more affordable for sure.
My family would love to try this! It’s a family tradition to try unfamiliar things!
I have never tried eating any food or drink from Turkey! Or not that I know of. This box sounds like a great way to introduce myself to this unique culture!
I have a close friend who lived in Turkey for a few years teaching music! She loved her experience there and often talks about returning. I think this box would make a great holiday present for her!
I think that this is a really good discount for being able to explore foods from other cultures. It is really fun and can lead to finding foods that you really love but would never would have tried.
This box looks just as exciting as the previous one I saw on your blog, I can see a lot here I’d love to try and I think my dad too. These boxes are such a good idea! I really need to see if its available in the Uk!
I think this subscription would be fun to try. I don’t think I have ever had Turkish foods. I wouldn’t know where to begin. This might be the start in that line of inquiry.
What a neat idea for a subscription box! I’m really curious about Turkish food, I’ve never tried it before.
I don’t think I have ever had any Turkish cuisine so this would be a box I would really like to try. The hand-rolled Turkish flatbread sounds delicious.
This Turkey Try The World box sounds delicious. I have been wanting to try these boxes for a while now and I think they would make great holiday gift ideas too. It is awesome they share the history of the foods in the boxes too. Thanks for sharing the information and this awesome box.
The only Turkish product I have tried is hazerbaba and we love that, would surely want to try the box..looks delish!
I absolutely love this idea! This must be one of the coolest subscription boxes out there. It’s so expensive to ship food items back home from a foreign country, and this allows you to taste the treats from around the world for a low cost.
This is quite interesting. I’ve never had Turkish food before. I may need to add it to my list!
I have been curious about this subscription box for so long. I think it’s so cool that they have countries you’d think about eating from (like Mexico, that you did in a different blog post), but also I had never really thought of specific Turkish cuisine! It’s so unique.
I have never had Turkish cuisine but I can safely say that I will love it as it is very similar to Indian cuisine.I now have another addition to my to-do list-going to a Turkish restaurant!
Your make a very compelling argument for me to go out and try some Turkish cuisine. I don’t know…between this blog post and my Food, Nutrition, & Culture class I am taking at school (where we learning about Turkish cuisine this week coincidentally) I think I might have to start expanding my taste bud horizons soon.
I’ve never tried the foods and products from turkeys. But those products look great and they have a deal of 20% off, that’s awesome will check this out.
Taste of Turkey. Wow. Such a variety of delicacies. Feeling tempted to try few.
I have never been to Turkey not tried the cuisine but this sounds really interesting. I may have to find some Turkish recipes
I enjoy Turkish food. There is a restaurant we like to go to. I never had any of these items before.
When I think of Turkish Cuisine, I think of all exotic dried fruits & spices! Who can forget Turkish Delights. Ahhh.. This is making me hungry now! Lolz
This is really neat, and unique! I had no idea they do subscription boxes with continental cuisines. Great way to experiment cooking with recipes and spices of different cultures!
I recently indulged in some Turkish cuisine at a little quaint Turkish restaurant in Sochi and it was amazing. Nice and Spicy. Tasty foods.
I have always wanted to go to Turkey, it is on my travel wishlist. It is great that I can taste the delicacies of Turkey with this subscription box while sitting at my house. Thank you for sharing the offer code.
I need to try and order this so that i can use it as a gift for a gathering I’m attending.
This is such a cool idea! I never knew so many awesome things were out there until I started blogging. This is similar to Faithbox which I came across a few weeks ago. Thanks!
This. is. so. cool! I would definitely be interested in trying this subscription box. I’ve never been to Turkey, but I have heard amazing things about their cuisine. Unfortunately, with the current travel ban that is in place, it seems like this will be my best option to sample Turkish food. And I love how a bit of history comes with the box as well. Makes it more interesting!
What a yummy box of Turkish goods!
I love this gift set! I’ve always been curious as to what these subscription boxes are like and I’ve never tasted Turkish cuisine before.
I didn’t realize that Turkey was bordered by 8 countries. That must be a hard place to be or an easy one if everyone is already accustomed to the diversity. I’m guessing Try The World would be great for bringing flavors together.
I consider myself a foodie and this box is a great way to taste the different flavors the world has to offer without hopping on a plane and going to the country yourself. Sounds like this one’s worth it!
Wow. this looks amazing. Gotta try them too, soon!
I’ve never tried any of this type of cuisine but it sounds intriguing.
Learnt a new word ‘locavore’ and a new service- ‘ Try the world’. Sounds awesome and will give it a try!
Try the world really gives us something new when buying gastro thingy that sometimes I don’t really find in local market. There’s a lot of different items to choose from and foods from different countries.
Wow what a bumpber box of Turkish goodies. I love subscription boxes like this as you get to try a bit of everything and try out different world cuisines 🙂 x
I’m so curious about Turkey’s cuisine! I’ve had some of their typical flatbread and absolutely loved it, but still I feel like there’s just so much more to discover… These boxes you receive are just so cool 🙂
I have not tried Turkish food yet but I’m sure it’s delicious! 🙂
This is such a clever concept! Thank you so much for sharing!
Clever? Why clever?
A taste of *insert country * is clever to me
I know very little about food from Turkey, and enjoy reading this! It all looks tantalizing for my palette – will try it out for sure. Appreciate the discount also – it’s a wonderful incentive.
Turkish cuisine sounds very interesting. Had no idea that it encompasses so many different regions. Try the World also sounds intriguing.
I don’t have a lot of turkish friends but I did have the opportunity to taste their delicious food and it was one of the best. hoping to visit Ankara next year and taste all this delicacies!
What an absolutely terrific food subscription box! I would love it. I have been dying to go to Turkey since the 90s, but haven’t gotten there yet and won’t till they have a new president. But fortunately, a casual takeout restaurant was opened by a young Turkish man not far from where I live, and I loooooove his food! Healthy and delicious
When I saw your post before reading it I thought this was about the bird. All of these products look so delicious. I never tried food from Turkey before.
I never have turkish food before. I am not sure turkish delight counts. This basket looks amazing and would be perfect to have a turkish night with friends!
I do love turkish cuisine. I love how affordable the subscription box is. Based on the number of items in the box I think a lot of people will enjoy this box too.
I have been wanting to try this subscription box for ages! All of these things look amazing!
I love all this information about Turkey and Turkish culture and food!! (I’m a history buff so this was great for me) We had a Turkish restaurant near our old house and it was one of our “go to” places to eat!
This sounds like a great way to explore different countries without leaving the house.
I’ve been to Turkey and tried their food – it was a hit and miss. Overall, it was a nice trip.
xo,
Mama in Heels
I learned a lot of techniques from watching my mom and grandma too. I wonder if they knew how much they were influencing us. 🙂 A box full of Turkish foods sounds like a great gift idea to me!
Wow this is really cool! What a fun way to try something different
Wow! Right? That is the latest popular word of the day in the blogging world…
A Turkish restaurant recently opened up in my area and we really love it. I have always liked mediterranean food so this is up my alley. These boxes would make awesome gifts for a foodie!
I’ve honestly never tried Turkish food – the chillis sound great though I’ll have to keep an eye out for them in the international supermarket!
This looks like a great subscription box to have. You did get a good variety of products. Honestly, I have no idea what Turkish food is, except maybe for shawarma and kebabs. I will have to check on this and most likely sign up for it.
I’m from turkish orignis, so it means that your post means a lot to me! this box looks very complete and gave me hunger!
That looks like an amazing box and gift! I love dolmas and eat them nearly every week. So good!
I am big fan of Greek food and I find there is a bit of a crossover with both these foods…with the use of the flatbreads,yogurts, lamb. I love gyros, hummus etc.I have a strong feeling I would enjoy food from Turkey too! But then again, I seem to enjoy all kinds of food haha 🙂
I don’t think I’ve ever tried anything directly from Turkey before. I’m a huge foodie I know this would make for a wonderful gift for my fellow foodies out there.
I have never tried Turkish food before. These sound like some interesting treats!
I’ve actually had food from Turkey and the combination of flavors that they have crafted is positively divine. I would recommend anyone to try the cuisine first hand. Although I haven’t tried any of the products that are featured in this box provided by World of Taste, I have more of a homemade cuisine l from a couple who recently joined our parish.
Those products are so amazing! Looks like you had an amazing trip to Turkey.
That’s so cool! I’ve never heard of this box, and now I want to try. Now, I’m not a fan of turkey ( I know…pitiful) BUT this sounds like such a cool concept. Thanks for sharing!
I would love to go Turkey my friend went there and loved it.
I have been wanting to visit Turkey but putting it off. And now I came accross your post! It must be a sign haha Also, I like how you mentioned Turks are locavores which means they love to cook locally sourced and seasonal foods that come from farm to table maintaining a high quality of freshness. I would definitely like to try their cuisine.
This Turkey Try The World box sounds amazing. I love the idea of gifting these boxes for the holidays too. It is nice to try different foods from different countries every month. Thanks for sharing the awesome box.
Such neat items and most of these are totally new to me!
What an interesting idea for a gift box. I enjoy Turkish Delights so much!!! It sounds like a really interesting culture of food and creativity. Great post thank you for sharing.
love it great gifts from turkey and this week we will dine on another type of turkey
come see us
I think it’s the MOST fun thing to try cuisines from around the world. This Turkish set looks fantastic! Our dinner club did a year of rotating recipes from around the world and it was my favorite theme.
This is perfect for the coming Thanksgiving! I like all the items included in the box. The discounts they offer are great deals.
That is very interesting! I’m very into the ottoman culture, and curious to know their influences in Turkey
This is such a great way to taste different foods of a country…I love greek yogurt eat it every day for breakfast!
The most popular Turkish food that has gone viral in Singapore is their kebabs and burittos! Everyone love them because the brand stuff’d added loads of greens to make it healthy!
This was interesting, never heard of this around the world thing before.
I’ve never been to Turkey but I’d love to think that I have tasted these products, I’m there somehow. Thanks for sharing. I do love trying out different foods.
I actually know a bit about Turkish cuisine. I respect and appreciate the variety of cultures 😊
I’ve always wanted to try Turkish cuisine. I’ve like all Mediterranean food I’ve tried, but I have yet to try Turkish. These gift baskets would make perfect office gifts. I would love to try that peanut bar.
Really interesting and enjoyable post!! Thank you for sharing!
I would never have considered trying a turkey box. That’s a new one even for me.
This sounds like such a great subscription box! I love the idea of getting introduced to different kinds of cultural cuisine every month. I’m not very familiar with Turkish cuisine but now I’m really curious to find someplace where I can give it a try.
Turkish cuisine is one of my favorite cuisines. It is so rich in flavors and everything I have had so far has been so delectable!
I love turkey and enjoyed this post! Seeing it from some different cultures is very cool. I didn’t know anything about these traditions prior. Interesting!
I love the variety of items you get in the box. I also love that there are different subscription offers!
