Industry Reviews "[A] browse through CLASSIC TURKISH COOKING...shows how alluring and diverse Turkish cooking can be. The book's well-written recipes convey the complexity of food that is frequently fueled with a good pinch of oiled ground chili (kirmizi biber) and smoothed with the rich tang of whole milk yogurt."
