Format: Hardcover
"Beautiful" is the first word that comes to mind when viewing this book. From the gorgeous, padded cloth cover, to the high quality binding (with two sewn-in ribbon bookmarks) to the lovely photographs and delectable recipes, this book is beautiful inside and out!

I've always loved Baklava, so it was a treat to try a new variation of it (I'm used to the Greek style with walnuts and heavily scented/flavored syrup). The Traditional Pistachio Baklava is fiddly to make, but worth it! Each crunchy morsel is a delight sure to impress and delight!

Looking for something new to cool you off on those hot days of summer coming up? Try the Basil Lemonade for a new twist on an old favorite. Need a new dish for breakfast? Spicy Sausage With Eggs is a treat! Buy sucuk sausage if you can find it, or make your own version with the included recipe.

You can find a little bit of everything is this book from a light Watermelon and Feta Salad to the ...interesting Sheep's Head Soup. Bring home a taste of Turkey to your house tonight with some delightful dishes from the beautiful cookbook Anatolia.

I received a copy of this book from Trafalgar Square Publishing through IPG for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Format: Hardcover
We are big fans of middle-eastern food and have a good dozen of cookbooks on the topic (ok… actually more than 40…), from Lebanese to Syrian to Persian. Obviously, we have a few classics about Turkish food, such as Turkey: A Food Lover's Journey, Istanbul: A Journey to the Heart of Turkish Cuisine, or the gorgeous Turquoise: A Chef's Travels in Turkey by the Maloufs. Yet, this one made it right into our favourites as it sets new standards for what a fantastic cookbook can be like!

Where many cookbooks are just a list of recipes with some meagre cultural anecdotes here and there, the authors have packed an incredible amount of information about the various regions of Turkey and their foods, the cultures, and the people.

** The Form **
The book itself is exquisite: a high quality binding with a textile-covered cover, filled with amazing pictures not only of food, but also of people and places. But what really make this cookbook unique is really the verve of the authors whose profound passion for food and traditions transpires through every page. Each recipe comes with an interesting introduction, where the dish came from and which dish is a modern (and practical) interpretation of a traditional or old recipe (because we, modern cooks, don’t have the same time to spend in the kitchen as did the sultans’ cooks). The tone is friendly and inviting, and the touches of humour throughout the book make you really feel like a guest at a friend's table.

Stunningly beautiful book. The real beauty is in the words, however. Unlike most other recipe books, this author lovingly conveys the vast beauty, history, and culture of Anatolia and the joy its people express and enjoy through food and hospitality. I was fortunate enough to live in Turkey in the mid-70s, and a piece of my heart will always belong there. Being able to create some of my favorite dishes is a terrific way to evoke great memories. My only criticism is that the font is too faint for for my middle-aged eyes. Fortunately, a magnifier (and a Kindle e-version) will solve that.

A gorgeous book filled with the culture and flavors of Turkey. Recipes are well-written and easy to follow. Pretty enough to be a coffee table book, too!
