@Christopher Hawtree Wonderful cookbook. Companion to author's "The Complete Book of Turkish Cooking". Author, Ayla Algar, has lectured in Turkish at UCal Berkeley in U.S

@Christopher Hawtree I favor cookbooks by someone like this, who grew up in the kitchens of her family members, is passionate about food, and has an amazing scholarly background as well. 2

@Christopher Hawtree I pulled this cookbook out whilst packing for a house move, mostly to analyze the index, which is clear, concise, and complete. And its five-page bibliography is amazing. First page below.
