Turquoise: A Chef's Journey Through Turkey - Greg Malouf

Greg and Lucy Malouf delight us yet again, bringing their own inimitable blend of food and travel writing to the Turkish culinary landscape - one which remains curiously unexplored by many in the Western world. In Turquoise, Greg and Lucy journey through a land where the diversity of climate, countryside and architecture provide a fitting background for an equal variety and richness of cuisine. Join them in their discovery of Turkish food as they visit spice markets and tiny soup kitchens, taste fish sandwiches on the Bosphorus, enjoy Ottoman banquets in fine restaurants and drink chai in ancient tea houses. Inspired by the foods they discover along the way, the recipes in Turquoise include classics, such as slow-cooked lamb with quince, and imaginative dishes, such as Tulum cheese salad with roasted walnuts, rocket and mint. Turkey is a fascinating land, teeming with memories of Sultans and harems, of Byzantine churches and Seljuk mosques, of ancient kingdoms and cities long gone to dust. Gorgeous photography brings the engaging stories and exciting Turkish cuisine to life. In Turquoise you will share the Malouf s unforgettable journey and discover an extraordinary world that will surprise and delight.
