Overview

There's only one thing tastier and more fun than an epic Turkish feast. And that's a an epic Turkish feast combined with an epic Greek feast, overlooking the ever-epic Sydney Harbour.

Barangaroo restaurant Anason is bringing you just this on Sunday, August 28. The lunchtime affair will kick off at midday and take the form of a relaxed, four-hour tasting adventure, created by Somer Sivrioglu (Anason) and David Tsirekas (1821).

Promised dishes include traditional sesame ring simits with pumpkin hummus, kasseri and mushroom filo pie, and whole lamb on a spit with Ich pilav and smoked eggplant bomb. Following up the savouries will be a  massive selection of desserts, like buffalo milk yogurt, honeycomb and pistachio meze, as well as pistachio, almond and pomegranate pudding. Needless to say, you'll be matching them with bucket loads of Turkish wine, beer, ouzo and raki.

"We've wanted to collaborate like this for ages and we're excited to host the kind of family picnic-style lunch we've enjoyed our whole lives," said Sivrioglu. "Turkish and Greek cooking traditions date back to the Ottoman Empire and, while the recipes are different in many ways, the two cuisines complement each other well. You just have to come hungry."
