Ottoman Cuisine: A Rich Culinary Tradition Paperback – September 16, 2014

I look forward to the recipes.

I would love to give it a better rating, but the book is very short, and there are simply better books out there on this topic.

Some nice recipes but the book is difficult to use because there's no table of contents and no index. It's difficult to see what recipes are in the book. Disappointing.

Magnificent cookbook!

While it is a neat cookbook and is useful to a home cook, it has no value to anyone that wants to do scholarly research on the history of Ottoman cuisine. There is no bibliography or citations of sources and the only two sources mentioned in the text are from the 19th and 20th century. There are earlier sources to draw from and it is apparent this author knows of them but hasn't chosen to cite them. the back cover mentions a rich history of Ottoman cuisine dating back 600 years and promises a history lesson but fails to deliver.

Very good

Good book for general background information and some recipes. Other Turkish cook books are better for common or home style cooking.
