Customer Rating: Summary: The Original and probably one of the best Comment: I have the original edition printed in 1969 by Doubleday books. This is probably the best Trukish cooking book still out there. The one thing is it is missing in todays cookbook buyer expectation is the pictures, but that usually is not that important unless you plan on leaving the book on the kitchen table to be browsed as most people do. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent Cookbook Comment: The best Turkish cookbook I have seen in my life (and I have seen a lot). Clearly explained recipes. The book captures the essence of Turkish cooking. Customer Rating: Summary: a classic Comment: I've been using this book for twenty years and it's a tried and true classic! Easy, delicious recipes.
