Item Description
Come experinece the wonders of a five course dinner prepared using the recipes of Ana Sortun - the executive chef of Oleana, Sofra and Sarma restaurants. Her cuisine draws from North African, Lebanese, Turkish and French roots. Wines will be paired with each course.
With a degree from La Varenne Ecole de Cuisine in Paris, the Seattle-born Ana Sortun was invited on a Trip to Turkey in the early 90's that would shape the chef that she has become today. When Ana Sorturn arrived in southeastern Turkey, Sortun's host and her friends presented a potluck of sorts. "I tasted 30 amazing dishes from these women's family repertoires," Sortun remembers. "I was stunned at how rich and interesting yet light everything was."
That trip was when Ana learned that in the Mediterranean, spice is used to create richness, depth and flavor without heaviness.
Upon her return to Boston, she wanted to fuse her newfound love of Eastern Mediterranean spices with her passion for using only the best ingredients. The result of this union was Oleana, which opened in Cambridge in 2001. A mere four years later, Sortun won a coveted and prestigious James Beard Award.
Come join the wonder of Ana's cooking at Eleanor's Home. This dinner is for 10.
