Reader Reviews
This book was a disappointment from start to finish. Written by a non-professional (the author is the wife of a senior Turkish diplomat as is repeatedly impressed upon the reader and furthermore needed the assistance of a co-author to get the project completed), what we have here is more a vanity publication than anything else. The recipes show a lack of feeling of genuineness and demonstrate unpleasant presumption and lack of respect both for the cuisine and for the reader. Killer example: in the explanation of terms, tahini is explained and then the suggestion made that a cup of tahini may be replaced by 2/3 cup of peanut butter mixed with 1/3 cup of oil. This revolting (and culturally and ethnically wrong) advice sets the tone for this sad excuse for a cookery book. My recommendation for the real thing: get The Sultan's Kitchen by Ozcan Ozan, a professional restaurateur.
