"Greet a Turk and you will eat. Whether you are in the busy streets
of Istanbul, in a small village in Anatolia, on the slopes above
Bursa, or in a resort in the Mediterranean, the enticing aroma of
grilling, baking, and spices fills the air - warm bread rings
covered in sesame seeds; deep-fried mussels with a garlicky sauce;
roasted chestnuts, almonds and pistachio nuts; savoury pastries
filled with melting cheese; lamb roasting on a spit; aubergines
smoking over charcoal; and the scent of fresh peaches. You can try
Ottoman puddings in Istanbul; juicy apricots stuffed with rice in
Cappadocia; anchovy pilaff along the Black Sea coast; fiery kebabs
served on a sword in Adana; and the hallucinogenic honey of Kars in
eastern Anatolia. The Turks are passionate about their cuisine. It
gives them pleasure to share it with you and it is their generous
hospitality that draws me to the country again and again." This
glorious volume by award-winning author and cook Ghillie Basan
looks in detail at the culinary history and geography, the customs
and festivities, as well as the local ingredients, and presents a
tantalising selection of classic regional recipes.
