Kabak is a Turkish word describing the family of vegetables such as courgette, pumpkin and squash. It is also the name of a stunning, hidden valley ending in a beach tucked away in south-west Turkey. Founder Alex Marcovitch has been visiting this location for the last 25 years, and it was the food he ate in this region that inspired his cooking: piles of roasted seasonal vegetables drizzled in local olive oil; salads abundant with refreshing parsley and mint; spicy grilled peppers doused in village yoghurt, flavoured with garlic and dill.
