Abstract

Turkish cuisine is one of the richest cuisines of the world. One of the most effective ways of introducing Turkish cuisine to people from different cultures is to prepare, present some food in Turkish cuisine in accordance with the original recipes and make tourists visiting Turkey taste them. In the scope of the applications in Turkish cuisine, the place of kitchen staff is unquestionable. This study was conducted with the aim of determining the opinions of kitchen professionals (Chef de Cuisine, Sous Chef, Chef de Partie, Demi Chef de Partie) about the applications of Turkish cuisine. The sample of this study consisted of 223 kitchen professionals working in 4 and 5 star hotels in Marmaris, Bodrum and Fethiye. According to the study results, it was determined that stuffed vine leaves, stuffed vegetables, juicy desserts and pastry which were among the dishes peculiar to Turkish cuisine were included in the menus of hotel restaurants rather than other Turkish dishes. The kitchen staff mostly thought about the promotion of Turkish cuisine that some information about Turkish cuisine culture should have taken place in the advertisement brochures and other commercials of travel agencies and tour operators which brought tourists to Turkey.
