WITH
CHEF OZCAN OZAN
A Special Culinary Event for Children
On the Occasion of
April 23rd, the Children’s Day
The International Children’s Day, celebrated in many
countries on different days of the year, had its origin
in Turkey in 1920 and later in the World Conference for
the Well-Being of Children in Geneva, Switzerland in
1925. The United Nations General Assembly recommended in
1954 with a resolution that all countries institute a
Universal Children’s Day, to be observed as a day of
worldwide fraternity and understanding between children
and of activity promoting the welfare of the world’s
children.
Join
us for a special culinary event, organized specially for
children and their parents as we celebrate April 23rd,
the Children’s Day.
This interactive event will introduce children ages 8-14
the Turkish cuisine. They will feel as they have
traveled to Turkey as they taste local ingredients and
authentic recipes, learn basic cooking techniques, and
enjoy dinner together.
Chef
Özcan Ozan, owner of the Sultan’s Kitchen restaurant
and author of the cookbook, The Sultan’s Kitchen, will
prepare various recipes of authentic Turkish food.
