In addition, five-item menus were prepared for each of the vata, pitta, kapha doshas, and a total of 15 recipes were created. The recipes included in the study were prepared by re-adapting the classic and local dishes, which are known in the Turkish cuisine culture, to the special dietary rules of doshas. The menus prepared with the products available in the Turkish cuisine culture were found to be adaptable and appropriate to ayurveda.
