The Imperial Kitchens (Matbah-ı Âmire) Serving the Ottoman royal family as well as the thousands of palace employees, the Imperial Kitchens were first built in the time of Sultan Mehmed II (r. 1451-81) and subsequently expanded by Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent (r. 1520-66) to respond to the increase in the population of the palace. Following the fire of 1574, the kitchens were repaired and restructured by the architect Sinan. The roof of the Imperial Kitchens consists of ten domes and ten spires. Currently, the kitchens are used to display Ottoman kitchen utensils and other artifacts related to the cuisine of the palace. There are three doors along the long portico of the kitchen section. The first one opens to the Imperial Pantry (Kilâr-ı Âmire), the second one to the Royal Kitchen, and the third one to the Confectionery House (Helvâhâne). As a precautionary measure against any assassination attempts on the sultan, the food prepared in the Imperial Kitchens was first tested by the cooks and then by the royal taster (çâşnîgîr). Some sixty types of food were typically served to the sultan, and as a matter of course, he did not eat them all: some he would only look at, while others he would merely taste, and whatever was left over would be given to other dignitaries to eat, according to the protocol. This process was, in fact, a very old tradition in the East as well as among the Turks.

Длинная, метров 100 улица с кухонными залами, печами, всякой утварью и посудой.

Кухонный дворец. Интересно музейное решение - почти открытые залы, куда влетают голуби, витрины с посудой - и всё в интерьерах древней кухни с вытяжкой. Коллекции посуды весьма богаты. Стеклянные плиты в некоторых залах хрустят под ногами.
