Turkish Cookery

Additional Details

Description: The most popular and typical Turkish dishes have been selected for this book. The culinary art in Turkey is made up of a great variety of delicious dishes which are a mixture of various delicacies inherited from different regions of the vast Ottoman Empire. Many of them have unfortunately long been forgotten through the centuries. 

The most notable Turkish foods are: hors d'oeuvres (meze); pastries (borek) filled with meat, cheese, vegetables or any other filling depending on the imagination; stuffed vegetables and vine leaves (dolma) of two different kinds with meat or rice; broiled or roasted meat dishes (kebab and kofte); different kinds of rice dishes (pilav); and finally vegetables cooked in olive oil (zeytinyagh). 

After such a great variety of delicious dishes, the desserts also take a great part. In Turkey, apart from the European type pastry-shops, there are special and traditional milk pudding and sweet pastry shops.
