A Grand Colourful Book, with a personal touch., 2 Feb 2001
The photographs of the dishes bring out the colour of Turkish cuisine, and the Basan's personal touch adds to the cookbook's readability. The book provides background to the origin of most of the dishes, and so is informative of the whole cuisine, and is not just a cookery menu.

Similar to the local food!, 15 Mar 2005
Living in a very predominantly Turkish and Greek part of London, in this very well presented book I found many of the locally sold fares and having made a couple of my favourites, I would have to say they stand up well against the shop bought ones.The recipes range from snacks and breads and pastries, making 'Village' cheese to meats, vegetables and desserts. Apart from that, this book is very well illustrated with photographs, and gives the names of each recipe in Turkish and English. The introduction is interesting with a brief explanation of the different origins of some foods and explanation of of the areas of Turkey. Well worth buying.

Wow! I can cook just like my Turkish grandmother., 4 Mar 1999
By A Customer
Basan used colorful and attractive pictures to get the users excited about "Classic Turkish Cooking." As a Turk who has grown up eating traditional and delightful feasts without any experience in cooking myself, I found Ms. Basan's book a breeze to follow. I strongly recommend CRACKED WHEAT WITH SPICY LAMB, it will wake up all your taste buds.
