Summary: Truly Exotic Cuisine
Review: The Ottoman Kitchen makes for a delightful journey to this historic area. Having visited Greece and Turkey two years ago, the book immediately caught my attention.The recipes are accompanied by an interesting overview of the area. One should not be too surprised that Turkey and its neighbouring countries offer cuisine that is similar in many ways. These countries' common past is the reason for this. The author has adapted the recipes for a North American kitchen. There is no need to obtain what might be unobtainable ingredients in North America. The book bought back many memories of this fascinating region. I have already tried my first recipe (Topkapi pilaf), and intend to try many more. Not only is the book beautiful to behold ... the food contained therein is a true delight to savour!
