Enter our giveaway below to win a copy of Anatolia: Adventures in Turkish Eating by Somer Sivrioglu and David Dale.

Anatolia is a cookbook that explodes with the vibrancy of the people, food, and landscape of Turkey. Far more than a cookbook, this beautifully photographed book is a travel guide taking us on a journey to explore the 4,000-year-old cooking culture.

Istanbul-born chef Somer Sivrioglu and food scholar David Dale reveal the fascinating tales, tricks, and rituals that enliven the Turkish table. With more than 100 stories and recipes, including many suitable for vegetarians or vegans, this is the what, the where, the how and the why of eating the Turkish way.

Anatolia is a destination cookbook that has allowed me to experience a country and its people through words, photographs, and food. It is a delightful way to travel as I long to wander but for a variety of reasons can not do so.
