Kadıköy is an extremely colourful and vibrant district of Anatolian side of İstanbul and is very close to Yeditepe University. It is where social, gastronomical, cultural and business life meet just across the historical peninsula. Each of the fresh fruits and vegetables that come to Kadıköy shops in the very early hours of the morning are carefully placed on the stands. Gastronomy and Culinary Arts students of Yeditepe University get a chance to see a wide range of ingredients, their varieties and different methods applied in their presentations.
