Welcome to Cheftalk.
Whilst we DO have many chefs on the site, our membership is composed of people with all levels of culinary skills, from those just starting to learn, through enthusiastic amateurs(I'm in that group!) to masterchefs. We also live around the globe which makes for interesting discussions, that's for sure!
The wikis, blogs. articles, reviews and photographs are all well-worth spending time to view - all are great souces of inspiration.
Feel free to join in on any thread you find interesting or start your own in the relevant forum. Please note, though, that the professional fora are read-only for those of us who are not employed in a culinary trade.
I love Turkish foods (although some countries in the region may argue whether they are truly Turkish only - or regional in origin!). I hope to see you around the boards!
