5.0 out of 5 stars I live off of the recipes in this book!, December 13, 2007

This review is from: Binnur's Turkish Cookbook: Turkishcookbook.Com - Delicious, Healthy And Easy-To-Make Ottoman & Turkish Recipes (Paperback)

This is my mom's book containing over 110 of her popular, yummy recipes. My husband and I basically live off of these and more from her site, TurkishCookbook.com. I highly recommend this to anyone who's especially new to cooking (most are very easy to prepare) and/or interested in trying Turkish cuisine.

Also don't be worried that you won't be able to find the ingredients in North America, my mom has adapted her recipes to what you can find at local stores here.

This review is from: Binnur's Turkish Cookbook: Turkishcookbook.Com - Delicious, Healthy And Easy-To-Make Ottoman & Turkish Recipes (Paperback)

I really enjoy Mediterranean dishes, but I've found that while there are entire shelves worth of greek, italian, and middle eastern cookbooks, I have never come across a source with more than a few authentically Turkish recipes. This book has over 100 dishes suitable for entrées, appetizers, lunches, deserts, baked items and more. Most of the recipes are simple and straightforward, and contain lots of healthy ingredients.

Additionally the presentation is excellent, with a vivid picture for every dish. Well worth the price of admission!

This review is from: Binnur's Turkish Cookbook: Turkishcookbook.Com - Delicious, Healthy And Easy-To-Make Ottoman & Turkish Recipes (Paperback)

My husband is Turkish and I have been wanting to cook Turkish food for him for a while but the dishes I have had just seem that they would take too long to make. One day I was searching for recipes and came across Binnur's Turkish cookbook and the recipes seemed so simple so I decided to buy it. I was a bit dissapointed though when I got it in the mail because I was expecting to get a thicker book for the price I paid for it. Overall I am happy I bought it because the recipes are easy to make and my husband likes the food!
