Yashim Cooks Istanbul

Description

Edgar-winning crime writer Jason Goodwin's 'Yashim the Ottoman Investigator' series is published in more than forty languages. Now Yashim's cooking has inspired a cookbook, evoking the color and flavor of the Ottoman world. Yashim Cooks Istanbul includes over eighty Turkish recipes, with full color illustrations and tempting descriptions from the novels. Fans of the series have been asking for this book ever since Yashim made his first appearance in The Janissary Tree (2006), winner of the Edgar Award for Best Novel. NPR's Book Concierge selected YASHIM COOKS ISTANBUL: Culinary Adventures in the Ottoman Kitchen among their Best Books of 2016. Yashim Cooks Istanbul covers the full spectrum of Turkish cookery, from simple meze and vegetable dishes to meat, fish and puddings. Good in the kitchen, good on the table, it will draw the reader into the extraordinary atmosphere of old Istanbul. Step back into Yashim's world, where the flavors and colors of Istanbul come to life: Yashim Cooks Istanbul is about time travel - and you don't have to leave your kitchen to make the trip.
