About this ebook
“[F]ascinating and tasty. . . . This collection will delight and inspire home cooks . . . looking to broaden their culinary horizons.” —Publishers Weekly
The most extensive and lushly photographed Turkish cookbook to date, by two internationally acclaimed experts.
Standing at the crossroads between the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and Asia, Turkey boasts astonishingly rich and diverse culinary traditions. Journalist Robyn Eckhardt and her husband, photographer David Hagerman, have spent almost twenty years discovering the country’s very best dishes. Now they take readers on an unforgettable epicurean adventure, beginning in Istanbul, home to one of the world’s great fusion cuisines. From there, they journey to the lesser-known provinces, opening a vivid world of flavors influenced by neighboring Syria, Iran, Iraq, Armenia, and Georgia.
From village home cooks, community bakers, café chefs, farmers, and fishermen, they have assembled a broad, one-of-a-kind collection of authentic, easy-to-follow recipes: Stuffed Eggplant; Pillowy Fingerprint Flatbread; Pot-Roasted Chicken with Caramelized Onions; Stovetop Lamb Meatballs with Spice Butter; Artichoke Ragout with Peas and Favas; Green Olive Salad with Pomegranate Molasses; Apple and Raisin Hand Pies. Many of these have never before been published in English.
“Superbly crafted . . . inspiring gallimaufry of stories told through the prism of food and culture.” —Andrew Zimmern, James Beard and Emmy Award winning chef and TV host
“I was transported, informed, and made very hungry by the recipes, writing, and photographs in this lovely, generous book.” —Naomi Duguid, author of Taste of Persia: A Cook’s Travels Through Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Iran, and Kurdistan
“Loaded with culinary gems.” —Andrea Nguyen, author of Into the Vietnamese Kitchen and The Pho Cookbook
