'Exquisite dishes from the most respected food writer in Turkey - A jewel of a book.' Claudia Roden 'Stunningly good - a beautiful object, and some of the dishes are strikingly scrumptious' Wall Street Journal 'An important and beautifully produced book' Cornucopia 'Modern Western works on mysticism tend to overstress the opposition between the soul and the stomach. [This] book, which is great fun to read, goes a long way towards addressing this misconception.' Times Literary Supplement
