The Turkish Cookbook: The Culinary Traditions & Recipes from Turkey

Product Information

My own copy of this cookbook was a present from Refika and is personally dedicated to me. It’s one of my culinary treasures. I had a cookery blog, A Seasonal Cook in Turkey, for more than five years and ‘Cooking New Istanbul Style’ was a book I turned to time and time again. I love her style: it’s an all-embracing book filled with vibrant photographs, many of which she took herself. The reader gets a strong flavour of Refika, the cook, and her environment.

The local food culture that was dominant in Nizip in my childhood has long been replaced by restaurant food. Restaurants do serve local specialties like ridged bread, pide, lahmacun, sheep’s head and trotters soup, lentil soup, karnıyarık and moussaka. More efficient communication and urbanisation have unfortunately taken place at the expense of local cuisines.” A handful of mint leaves really brings this salad alive, veggies will love it, but if you do need some meat lamb cutlets are the perfect addition
