So good you might want to get two!,
This review is from: Turquoise: A Chef's Travels in Turkey (Hardcover)
The hefty price tag made that it has been on my wish list for a while.
But the book is worth every penny! It has wonderful travel stories and the most beautiful pictures that take me right back to our holiday in Turkey. And the recipes are absolutely delicious! There are a few original recipes, but mostly it's Greg Malouf's own recipes which are a modern take on the Turkish kitchen, but put together with the highest respect for it's origins. The book itself is printed on beautiful paper and has a heavy duty binding. This book is so good that you might want two.....one for the coffee table and one to get stained in the kitchen. A delicious book!

This review is from: Turquoise: A Chef's Travels in Turkey (Hardcover)
I am avid cookbook collector and user, but am rarely moved to write reviews. I have also had the pleasure of visiting Istanbul and experiencing first hand the wonderful cuisine. Turquoise far surpassed my expectations. It is hard to know what pleases me more - the excellent collection of recipes presented with clear, easy to follow instructions or the amazing photographs and descriptions that place the recipes in their colorful contexts. It is definitely one of the gems of my collection, one which I would recommend highly both to someone looking for a gift or to treat themselves.

This review is from: Turquoise: A Chef's Travels in Turkey (Hardcover)
I am a collector of cookbooks and let me tell you, get this one. Some very different recipes with well written, clear directions. I could live on the yoghurt with chicken soup and the olive salad with pistachios, walnuts and pomegranate seeds is fabulous. I am cooking my way through it....Terrific book.
