Turkish Food with Ish Kaba Saturday 10 May

Saturday 10 May

Ish was born in Australia from parents who originated from Turkey. His Dad, from the town of Trabzon, a city on the Black Sea coast of northeastern Turkey and located on the historical Silk Road. His Mum was from Samsun with its striking natural and historical sites from breathtaking canyons to important historic ruins. Both regions steeped in a deep food culture. 

Ish began cooking professionally in his late 20s and fell in love with the environment of preparing food. He soon became known as a cook who thrived in a team that valued simplicity, variety and flavoursome foods. He began working under Seref Kaya from Ottoman Cuisine in Canberra and together they opened Ottoman in Sydney in 2006 at Walsh Bay. Ish then went onto work at Otto in Woolloomooloo and Bistro Ortolan in Leichardt before returning to Turkey to immerse himself into Turkish life.

We are so proud and excited to have Ish at Moonacres Kitchen and part of the school family. His love of family and his homeland brings a kindness and generosity to his cooking, and we are delighted that he will share the foods he loves to eat. 

This beautiful cooking class is not to be missed. 

Details of the menu for his latest class will be available soon.

The class runs from 10:00am to 2pm with a beautiful long lunch.

Ish and the team at Moonacres look forward to seeing you soon.
