During a delightful journey to Turkey, a land where the fusion of flavors creates a tapestry of taste unlike any other, I stumbled upon a culinary secret that transformed my view of two often-underappreciated vegetables: broccoli and cauliflower. Known for their health benefits but often criticized for their bland taste, these cruciferous vegetables were reinvented in the hands of Turkish chefs, turning them into dishes so tasty, they could easily become the stars of any meal.
