Turkish Cooking: A Culinary Journey through Turkey Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am about to send the book back, for the following reasons : - a large part of the book is not concerned with food, but is an account of the author's travels. I think the presentation of the book should have made this clear. - Many recipes rely on meat substitutes. It has always struck me as the sign of a sad lack of imagination when vegetarian food tries to mimick meat-based cooking. It is particularly regrettable when one writes about Turkish cuisine, which has some of the most delicious NATURALLY vegetarian dishes.

We immerse ourselves first in a dozen "Traveler's Tales" describing the Robertson's experiences--clambering among Lydian rock tombs, taking a ferry up the Bosporus, exploring the ancient cities of Ankara and Istanbul. These adventures entice us into the second part of the book, which presents classic Turkish dishes--such as Fried Mussels, Stuffed Grape LEaves, Ciscassian Chicken, Raki Shrimp with Feta Cheese, and Baklava.
