Caravansarai is One Year old! To celebrate, the Virtual Chef Project explores birthday traditions and cake recipes from around the world. In Istanbul, Julie Upmeyer finds the ingredients for the meal and several birthday cakes, planned by Sarah Graddy in Gainesville, USA. On the night of the dinner, we receive real-time instructions on how to cook our meal in the Caravansarai kitchen. The entire process was viewable in real time on CITV, now viewable as an archived episode. The Virtual Chef: exploring, through food, the international and diverse aspects of Istanbul. It is a participatory cooking event in which a chef in another country instructs us how to make a meal here in Istanbul. www.caravansarai.info
