Although I really don't mind the winter,a sprinkling of sun in the kitchen is a welcome present.
And both the recipes and the photographs (mind you not all the recipes have photographs but most of them...)bring a bit of sunshine in your daily diet.
The problem with a lot of "international " cookbooks are the ingredients. How does anyone expect you to find some obscure vegetable or an unheard of spice blend? Well,the author gives you alternatives . For instance certain Turkish cheeses are replaced ...more

Fantastic!

The book itself is absolutely gorgeous, full of the visual Turkish flavours. So far, all of the recipes I've tried have been successful, and have been quick and easy to make. I haven't had any ...more

Had some good recipes in it
I did find some of them a little hard to make and to understand since some things are not available in the US or are under different names. Also fellow Americans be sure you can do metric as all the units were in metric.
