  • Summary

  • You may know it as Börek, Burek, or even Borek. It may also be called by many other names, and that’s because it is one dish that found many new homes. In our last episode for this season, we bring in science and speak to Zafer Yenal. Zafer loves food and people, which lends itself well to his career as a professor of sociology at Boğaziçi University in Istanbul. We got to speak with Zafer about the above-mentioned dish, a savory pastry filled with cheese, meat, or vegetables that was brought to the Middle East by nomads and became a staple meal of the Ottoman Empire. Its variations reflect regional influences and have become beloved staples in many cultures. And as luck would have it, Zafer could get his mum to give us her Börek recipe, which you can find on our website. Tune in to listen to a joyful and interesting last episode. And wait until next Tuesday when we reveal how we will proceed in Season 2 of Schnitzel and Stories.
