Rick Stein: From Venice to Istanbul (2015)

Episode Overview

Rick wraps up his Greek adventure in Malvasia, the birthplace of the revived 'malmsy', a wine once coveted across medieval Europe, and treats himself to the British favorites of mullet and squid. Transitioning to the Asian segment of his journey along Anatolia's western shoreline, he relishes authentic Turkish wines and dishes, which are rich with Byzantine-inspired vegetables and spices. He marvels at the lavish breakfasts, an array of cheeses, and the sultan's delight, a beloved lamb dish from the Ottoman era.
