Robertson relates a series of captivating and delightful travel adventures in the first half of the book, unveiling the wonders of Turkey—from the ancient cities of Ankara to the spas at Bursa to the small village bazaars, where fresh vegetables line stone pathways and aged stucco homes. The second portion is dedicated to vegetarian foods and recipes. Over one hundred Turkish dishes, including Spinach with Yogurt Sauce, Eggplant Puree, assorted Sis Kebabs, Minted Pea Pilav, and the ever-popular Baklava, await the cook wanting to explore Turkish cuisine.
