Every dish tastes better when it comes with a good story. Turkish hosts have known this for centuries, which is why they gave their dishes such names as "The Priest Fainted," "The General's Command," "The Sleeping Figs," "The Tragic Bride," "Split Belly," "Forget-me-not Mackerel," "Trickster's Potsticker," and "Noah's Ark Pudding."
That makes Anatolia - Adventures in Turkish Eating much more than a colourful cookbook. It's also a travel guide and a narrative. Somer Sivrioglu and David Dale reveal the tales, tricks and rituals that enliven the Turkish table, and offer advice on how and where to enjoy classic Turkish treats as well as the great wines of the land where Bacchus was born.
Anatolia - Adventures in Turkish Eating is a richly illustrated, entertaining and informative exploration of the cooking culture of old and new Turkey. Somer Sivrioglu re-imagines the traditions of his homeland, presenting recipes ranging from the grand banquets of the Ottoman empire to the spicy snacks of Istanbul's street stalls. The book features more than 100 dishes, and images of the recipes are complemented by specially commissioned photographs shot on location in Turkey, with spreads on local artisans and producers and their specialties.
Will Grant: Guardian Discovery, Book Three continues the exciting
Guardian series. Dr. Jones, a neurologist, manages to rob Will
Grant of his memory, allowing Stu Wainwright, a one-time State
Department employee, to exploit Will's unique abilities for
financial gain. He gives Will several assignments, including
shutting down a gangster family's operation in Chicago, and then
physically influencing a U.S. Senator's vote. Eventually, Will
regains his memory, helps the federal authorities arrest Wainwright
and company, and he goes on to become a special envoy to the
president of the United States. In this role, he travels to the
Middle East, where he assassinates a group of high-level
terrorists. Afterward, Will is recruited to repair the damage
caused by an impact and penetration to the International Space
Station. A mishap during the mission isolates Will in open space
and results in a mental breakdown. Following his recovery, Will has
his first encounter with the entity that sets the stage for book
four of this five-book series that explores how humans might react
to a superior being. Originally from Decatur, Illinois, David Dale
now resides near San Diego. He is retired from the
