5.0 out of 5 stars Tastes GOODS, Looks GOOD, and is EASY!, August 5, 2000

By	AxeTopher "AxeTopher" - See all my reviews

This is the BEST cookbook! I am NOT an experienced cook, but I was even able to make the BREAD (from scratch!) for the meat filled pastry (Katmer with Kiymali filling)! I had no trouble understanding the instructions or finding the ingredients (they were ALL available at my local grocery!)! Another great thing about it is the photographs! There are a LOT! (If it looks good, then you want to cook it, right?) I have cooked my way through half the recipes and loved them all! This book made me a much more confident cook! Oh, I almost forgot to say, everything tastes GREAT! I don't even have to go to a Turkish restaurant anymore!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Turkish cookbook yet, March 18, 2001

By	Jeannine Koknar (Cape May Court House, NJ USA) - See all my reviews

I have lived in Turkey and enjoyed the food perhaps too much. Also my hobby is collecting Turkish cookbooks and cooking Turkish food. This book is at the top of my list. Every recipe I've tried has been perfection. Not due to my cooking skills but because of the quality of the recipe. Don't hesitate to buy this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars best turkish cookbook, February 18, 2005

By	P. Clark (Singapore) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Sultan's Kitchen: A Turkish Cookbook (Paperback)

I am keen on collecting cookbooks. As I am Turkish I have a special interest in Turkish cuisine. I have 9 books on this topic, 4 of them in English. Ozcan Ozan's book is the best among them. Turkish food, definitely very tasty, but is not all that easy to prepare. Ozan explains each step very clearly and the measures he gives are very accurate. Apparently he genuinely put a lot of thought into it and wrote it in a way that everybody could apply.
