Who gets to cook at a Sultan’s palace in Istanbul? Sara does! She and the Palace chef make two local fishes – traditional Turkish Steamed Sea Bass and Salt Crusted Sea Bream. Later, she takes a boat ride on the Bosphorus to see how local fishermen catch their meals in the middle of a city and learns to make a Moroccan classic – Chicken Apricot Tagine.
