Synopsis

Turkish cooking is celebrated for its bold aromas and breadth, spanning grilled meats, salads and sweet pastries alongside everyday staples such as dips, pilafs and stews. In this wide-ranging volume, Musa Dagdeviren sets out to capture that diversity through 550 recipes, from lesser-known regional specialities to dishes recognised around the world, including lamb kofte, chicken kebabs, tahini halva and pistachio baklava.

Alongside the recipes, the book offers cultural context through an introductory look at Turkey’s culinary history, supported by informative headnotes. Finished-dish photography sits with atmospheric images of landscapes, markets and people, while clear icons help identify vegetarian choices, gluten- and dairy-free options, and recipes made with five ingredients or fewer. Suitable for home cooks looking to explore Turkish cuisine in depth.
