Wrapped in a handsome linen case with gold stamping, this is the first book to so thoroughly showcase the diversity of Turkish food, with 550 recipes for the home cook that celebrate Turkey's remarkable European and Asian culinary heritage - from little-known regional dishes to those that are globally recognized and stand the test of time, be they lamb kofte, chicken kebabs, tahini halva, or pistachio baklava. This volume also includes an introduction showcasing the culinary cultural history of the country, insightful headnotes, stunning photography of finished dishes and atmospheric images evoking the beauty and diversity of the Turkish landscape, environment, markets, and people. Icon are used to note vegetarian, gluten and dairy free options, and recipes with five ingredients or fewer. Review: Very highly reccomend - We have purchased this book for 3 times now to gift it to people who are interested in Turkish food. Musa Dagdeviren is an amazing cook and he done a great job putting this amazing book together. As a former Turkish chef I definitely recommend it to anyone. You can see the episode that features him on Netflix. He also has great restaurant in Istanbul-Kadikoy called Ciya, if you ever visit you must eat there. Review: Can’t praise it enough - This book is over 400 pages of culinary heritage. Not only its such a steal for the price (had books half the size for double the price that didn’t even come close), you also get the author’s hard work, memories and expertise on every single dish. This is so much more than a cookbook, it goes above and beyond to explain the traditions, region, seasonality and so much more in each and every dish. The author themselves is an acclaimed pioneer in his area contributing to Turkish cuisine and keeping original traditional recipes and practices alive. If you love this book you should also watch the author’s Netflix documentary on Chef’s Table to understand how far he went to create this book. Thanks for sharing your stories and putting this book together Musa. I consider this book as the bible for Turkish cuisine. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 23,157 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 58 in Mediterranean Food & Drink 153 in Food & Travel Writing 1,282 in Travel & Tourism (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 954 Reviews | ## Images ![The Turkish Cookbook: the culinary traditions & recipes from Turkey - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91uUtnlVNAL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very highly reccomend *by J***Y on 17 September 2025* We have purchased this book for 3 times now to gift it to people who are interested in Turkish food.

Hard to choose which one to start with and Once you are started hard to stop cooking from it. Second addictive cookbook this year after Yotam Ottolenghi’s Simple. Clear instructions and internationally available ingredients, great for the home cook. All recipes have their origins and information about regional variations. I have cooked a few dishes from it and they were all delicious. Especially the green almond tzaziki was a great hit with the short season of it coinciding with the release of the book. Looking forward to trying the recipe for the famous street food midye dolma stuffed mussels which looks straight forward to cook at home. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Turkish Cookbook - Greece: The Cookbook - Peru: The Cookbook --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/82580833-the-turkish-cookbook-the-culinary-traditions-and-recipes-from-turkey](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/82580833-the-turkish-cookbook-the-culinary-traditions-and-recipes-from-turkey) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-11-03*
