On my new set I continue the Mediterranean theme with Spiced Lamb and Hummus Pita Pizzas, special because everyone at the table gets their own personal pizza. - Spice Route: Istanbul to Morocco

But first I take a boat ride on the Bosphorus with a Turkish food historian, Gamze Ineceli, to learn the history of Istanbul’s waterways.
