A half-day deliciously well spent...Take a food tour of the Kadikoy market on the Asian side. Foodie Banu Ozden was born in Istanbul, college and a little food industry experience in the USA, and back to Istanbul. She takes small groups on a walk through and explanation of the strange and the familiar (as in the colorful macaroons in a bakery window). We ended with lunch at Ciya, sampling typical dishes from the Anatolian region where her family came from. A bonus is the round trip ferry ride across the Bosphorus. Check out Spooninmypocket.com
