Sofra (Turkey)

About the Book

A rich, generous, and deeply aromatic journey through the imperial kitchens of the Ottoman Empire, the charcoal grills of Adana, the breakfast tables of Istanbul, and the ancient pastry shops of Gaziantep. Sofra (meaning "dining table" in Turkish) presents ten of Turkey's most iconic dishes, each with a stunning full-page professional photograph, a complete ingredient list, a detailed step-by-step method, and an insider Chef's Tip. From the sizzling brown butter of an İskender Kebap to the paper-thin layers of a Gaziantep Baklava, from the fiery simplicity of an Adana Kebap to the sesame-crusted perfection of a Simit by the Bosphorus — this book captures the extraordinary soul of Turkish cuisine.
