My mother is Turkish and I've been eating Turkish food forever---as well as many a trip to Turkey and my Turkish family and friend's homemade meals. This book truly captures the traditional flavors and dishes that you will find in any Turkish household and restaurant, without the complication that should not exist. As one reviewer stated, you may not find loads of spices and difficult recipes, but that is NOT Turkish cooking anyhow. They like to make many dishes at once and you want to taste the true flavors of the food, and this book will help you do that. Beautifully illustrated as well.
Turkish Authentic
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I'm at a military base and just married a Turkish woman. Since Turkish people live at home until they marry (her mother does most of the cooking), we've been looking for good recepies of Turkish food. I found this book in the base library. It's a great book and the recepies seem authentic - even the Adana Kebab (we're near Adana). Instead of copying half the book that my wife wanted the recepies, I'm just buying it instead. I would recommend this book to a friend.
Authentically Turkish

My Turkish sister-in-law searched the bookstores of Istanbul for this specific cookbook to give to me as a reminder of my first trip to Turkey. A gourmet cook, she says that this is the most authentic of the available Turkish cookbooks. The recipes are simple, easy to follow and bring back memories of wonderful meals with family and friends in Istanbul.
