- Brilliant photography of the markets, landscape and dishes of Turkey
- Detailed recipes and narrative in each chapter. For instance, the first chapter covers soup in Turkish culture, Tarhana (a dried food ingredient based on a fermented mixture of grain and yoghurt or fermented milk. Dry tarhana has a texture of coarse, uneven crumbs, and it is usually made into a thick soup with water, stock, or milk) and as a social memory. This background is then followed by pages of recipes from Widow’s soup to Wedding soup.
- Dishes are rich in tradition and culture and while some have lengthy ingredients lists most of those can be procured at your local supermarket. Learning and experiencing a new cuisine will not be a fifteen-minute meal.
- The Turkish Cookbook is a resource that the dedicated cook will turn to time and again
