“There are many books on cooking out there but very few of these see food as an essential part of daily life and culture in a society. This book is no doubt one of those. Reading it will give you an insight into a rich, sophisticated and multicultural cuisine which is one of the greatest in the world. But this book will do something else: It will draw you softly into the art of cooking and serving with love -an art our grandmothers knew so well and we in the modern world lost touch with.”
Elif Şafak
“There is much more to Turkish food than lokum, kebab, baklava. The incredible variety of mezze in restaurants and the amazing array of fruits, vegetables, nuts, spices, fish and shellfish in the colorful markets are reflected in a vibrant and modern cooking, unfortunately little known in the U.S. Hande Bozdoğan & Lale Apa’s “Istanbul Contemporary Cuisine” fills the gap and is a great introduction to that somewhat mysterious and exciting cuisine.”
Jacques Pépin
