The 22nd International Istanbul Gastronomy Festival (International Istanbul Culinary Days), one of Türkiye’s most prestigious gastronomic organizations, is being held at the Istanbul Bahçelievler Congress Center between December 17–20, 2025. Organized for 21 years by the Turkish Chefs and Cooks Federation (TAŞFED), the festival continues to attract attention this year by bringing together chefs, academics, and gastronomy students from around the world.

Within the scope of the festival, students from the Department of Gastronomy and Culinary Arts are competing in two different categories—“Best University Team of the Year Competition” and “University-Level Modern Turkish Cuisine Team Competition”—by transferring the theoretical and practical knowledge they have acquired into practice.
