Hardcover from Interlink Pub Group
ISBN: 1566567939
Turkey has made an enduring contribution to the world's cuisine with
its diverse and important gastronomic history and classic--simple yet rich
in flavors--recipes. Turkish cuisine is a colorful mosaic, enriched by
the recipes and techniques of many ancient cultures--Phoenician, Hittite,
Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Persian, Chinese, and Greek--and the creativity
of the cooks and the geography of the regions they lived in.
Inspired by the best of regional cooking, this unique and masterful
collection of recipes shares a rediscovery of timeless authentic, healthful,
refreshing, and easy-to-prepare Turkish dishes--from classics to lesser
known family favorites, and even lost recipes. Written with a zest for
food and culture, this book is packed with the delights of Turkey's regions,
from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean, from Europe to Asia, the Aegean
to Anatolia.
Using only the healthiest and freshest ingredients--from fresh fruits
and yogurt to vegetables, fish, poultry, and meat--the regional recipes
are cooked in an infinite variety of ways, with exciting flavor and texture
combinations. Eggplant alone can be prepared in more than 40 different
ways. In areas where fish, meat or poultry weren't available, cooks created
outstanding recipes that utilized grains, pulses, and vegetables. Since
Turkish cooking requires no special equipment or unusual ingredients it
is generally very easy to prepare.
Healthful and tantalizing, simple and delicious, Turkish cuisine is
well on its way to becoming the next big trend in cooking as more and more
attention is being paid to it as the original Mediterranean diet. |
