Istanbul

With over 80 delicious, easy-to-make recipes, award-winning author Özlem Warren brings the vibrant and diverse flavors of Istanbul to your home kitchen. 

Influenced by its geographical position and the many ethnic groups that made the city their home, each in turn contributing to its cuisine, Istanbul’s food is multicultural, delicious and satisfying. 

From explorations of the city’s famous street food and home-style restaurants to gems from farmers’ markets and patisseries, in this stunning cookbook you can find classics such as Hünkar Begendi (lamb stew over smoked aubergine) and Soganli Menemen (scrambled eggs with tomatoes, peppers and onions), perennial favorites such as Kolay Gözleme (easy gözleme with cheese and spinach), multicultural flavors such as Çerkez Tavugu (Circassian chicken with walnut sauce), crowd-pleasers like Cheat’s Manti, sweet treats such as Sekerpare (semolina cookies in syrup with pistachios) and so much more.
