“The Unique Flavors of Hatay Cuisine; at the Department of Health, Culture, and Sports”

Overview

Our University's Nutrition Unit Department offered a “Regional Hatay Cuisine” menu in our university cafeterias on Friday, August 8. The event was held with the participation of our Rector, Prof. Dr. Cem ZORLU, and the university administration.

 

Prior to the event, on Thursday, August 7, master chef Abdullah KATIRCIOĞLU from Hatay provided hands-on training to our cafeteria staff. The training covered the preparation and presentation techniques of traditional Hatay flavors.

The specially prepared menu featured regional delicacies such as Babagannuş, Hummus, Tepsi Kebab, Firik Pilaf – Salted Chicken, and Cheese Halva.

The event attracted great interest from both our university staff and students. Organized to introduce traditional flavors and preserve our cultural values, the program provided enjoyable and delicious moments.

We sincerely thank all our cafeteria staff who worked tirelessly to make this wonderful event happen, our team members who spared no effort during the preparation process, and everyone who supported us.
