Exploring Turkish Regional Cuisines
Even if you never go to Turkey, you can still taste its wonderful food through the book “Istanbul and Beyond” by Robyn Eckhardt, with photographs by David Hagerman, her husband.
The subtitle of the book is “Exploring the Diverse Cuisines of Turkey,” which they did by getting off the beaten track, dropping into villages to see what might be cooking, winding up with recipes and often invitations to eat, because Turkish people take pride in their hospitality.
