Turkish Food Tour
We start our morning with a traditional Turkish coffee and delicious Turkish treats and then begin our journey through the streets of Auburn, discovering the local community. We pop into the bakehouse, enjoying some local bread, then onto the supermarket where we try so many imported, Turkish cheeses, spicy capsicum dip, wonderful imported fig and cherry jams, and many deli goods.
From here we enjoy the locally wood fire oven cooked Turkish pizza, and a Turkish food tour is never complete without the flavours of locally baked real Turkish baklava, different to the Lebanese one, followed by lunch.
