Previously, we shared the story of Jocette (jō-set), an American expat living in Turkey, who talked about her life there and her cross-cultural marriage to Salih (sä-lee) [Listen below]. She is back again and this time dives into her lifelong love affair with food—a passion so deep that she even studied the subject at the graduate level.
For Jocette, food is more than just the taste. It’s the people and the culture behind it, and most importantly the folks whom it brings around the table. Through her blog Hasat Günü, which means the day of harvest, Jocette seeks to help people “see the beauty of Turkey and then have a slice of it for themselves.” Listen as she shares about her passion for food and people and then check out Hasat Günü for yourself (Link below).
