Our team has had nothing but praise for the city, harrowing the local mechanics as some of the most qualified in the world! Hopefully these latest repairs will last us the remaining 2,200km/1,367mi to Paris!

While Turkey has gifted the culinary would with many treats (baklava, Turkish coffee, pilafs and many more), our recipe today represents one of the most popular culinary traditions: kebabs. Technically, kebabs are Persian in origin, they have become a Turkish specialty and one of the region's most well-known foods! While we are only sharing one recipe today, our archives feature more than 18 kebab recipes for you to try!

1 garlic clove, minced
1 lb. pork tenderloin, cut into small cubes (1" diameter)
1/2 lb. seedless red grapes
3 Tablespoons Italian parsley, chopped
