A New Spin on Classic Mediterranean Spices, by Chef Ana Sortun
Taste Talks in partnership with Mount Gay hosted four events across the country featuring creative makers and craftsmen who are forging a new path in the spirit of the old ways.
Chef Ana Sortun, co-owner of Oleana in Boston, emulates the spirit of something old in all of her cooking and craftsmanship. Inspired by a trip to Turkey, Chef Sortun, it’s shown through in her cooking since.
“The flavors [in Turkey] were incredibly rich, but not as heavy. And that was interesting and exciting–I wanted to get to the bottom of it. I found it was really the use of spice that was doing this. I use spices in a more Mediterranean way, it’s a more underlying flavor.” Sortun explained.
