Inspired by the rich and nuanced heritage of Istanbul's food scene, Istanbul brings a taste of the Turkish capital to readers' tables, wherever they are in the world.

With fuss-free and flavourful recipes for dishes from the firin (bakery) to the kahvalti evi (breakfast houses), ocakbasi (fireside), sokak (street) and more, this is a dynamic collection of more than 80 recipes that take readers on a journey through Istanbul, showing just how delicious and satisfying the city's food can be, whether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Including the likes of Patatesli Peynirli Borekitas(pastries with potato and cheese), Iskender Kebap (doner kebabs with flatbreads and a tomato and butter sauce) and Lokma (fried dough balls in syrup), every dish prioritises flavour and ease of execution, as well as showcasing the multicultural influences that have made Istanbul's food scene what it is today.
