The Secrets of Turkish Cuisine is a recipe book and much more than that. It’s a journey through the typical dishes of a country, Türkiye, a crossroads between East and West. In this book, you will discover many new Turkish recipes, as well as many trivia and anecdotes that the author, Ümeyhan Azman, wanted to share with her readers. With each recipe, the author shares memories and snippets of her childhood, which are indissolubly linked to each dish and their symbolic meaning. With The Secrets of Turkish Cuisine, Ümeyhan narrates a part of her country, made of new colors and fl avors. In every culture around the world, eating together is an important moment of sharing and thus, through cooking, people manage to captivate others with curiosity and eagerness to learn. And it is precisely in these moments that the most intimate aspects of a culture emerge, involving families and their memories tied to tradition. This book is not the typical recipe book: it is a journey to discover the true dishes that Turkish families serve every day on their tables; it is a book that collects both practical instructions to reproduce them and what they felt, and still feel today, when they cook them. Happy discovery and afiyet olsun!
