Very rarely does a book come into my possession where I want to cook every recipe that I see. This is one of those rare beasts. The recipes just look full of flavour, and after cooking a good few, they do taste as good as they look. Straightforward simple recipes, easy to follow add to the delight.

Being a Turk, I always look for Turkish Cook books to give as a present. This is a very good one as it has some very traditional recipies and the ones that normally people ccok at home . Also presented in a very nıce way with nice photos. I wish it was translated in Spanish and Italian as well.
