Istanbul and Beyond: Exploring the Diverse Cuisines of Turkey by Robyn Eckhardt is a comprehensive cookbook covering one of the world’s first fusion cuisines. By virtue of its location between Europe and Asia Turkey’s cuisine is rich in spices and varying influences. Arranged regionally with gorgeous photographs, it is as much a fascinating cultural travelogue as a cookbook. We suggest starting with the lovely and user-friendly Green Rice Pilaf. The sky's the limit from there! (Cookbook)
