Customer Reviews

This book is overpriced.
I have two other Turkish cookbooks: Sultan's Kitchen by Ozcan Ozan and Classical Turkish Cooking by Ayla Algar. Both of these books cost less than Binnur's cookbook and have many more recipes, though it should be noted that Algar's book does not contain pictures, while Binnur's and Ozan's do. I really enjoy Binnur's blog, but I feel this book is overpriced for what it is, and does not cover anything that the other 2 books don't already. Also, some recipes call for measurements in the metric system, and others in the English system. One recipe was mistyped and said to BROIL something when clearly the instructions imply it should be BOILED. If it were cheaper, I'd keep it, but for this price I'll be returning it.

Perfect!!
This is a wonderful series of recipes you can use everyday. I have other Turkish cookbooks that I enjoy. However, this is the Turkish cookbook I find most useful.The ingredients are not hard to find. The recipes are delicious and easy to cook. And the author's blog is tops!

Most important book in my kitchen
I am Syrian and love cooking traditional meals from my home town Aleppo, that is largely inspired by the Turkish cuisine.
Binnur's recipes have guided me to the authentical taste from our mothers and grandmothers excellent dishes.

I found in Binnur's on-line cookbook all the hints I was looking for when preparing my meals plus new ideas and recipes that enriched my table and wowed my family and friends.

Binnur's cookbook is like her, all the delicacy and excquisiteness of Turkey!!
