What the creator captured
Ayhan Mortepe explored the culinary heritage of Denizli, focusing on the traditional slow-cooked lamb kebab prepared in stone ovens since 1945. He emphasized the importance of eating the kebab with hands to truly appreciate the texture and the 'baklava-like' quality of the rendered lamb fat. Mortepe was particularly impressed by the authentic methods preserved in the city, from the specific wood used for chopping blocks to the lack of cutlery in traditional kebab houses.
