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!

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!

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.

smashing recipes
Simple, clear delicious recipes. Brilliant Lentil soup, so easy to make, tasted great. The only thing missing is the Turkish name of the ingredients.

Poor print job!
There is an error in the printing. The top of each page has been cut off! I plan to return it. Too bad, the recipe I used from Binnur's website have been good.

Very thin book
I bought this for a Christmas gift. I was surprised when it arrived that there wasn't much to it for $15.00. The pictures are nice and the recipes look fairly simple. Read more
