World Food Turkey
Lush photography and tantalizing descriptions of local cuisine set these beautiful pocket guides apart from all of the other guides that juxtapose food and travel. Each guide traces the unique cultural influences that helped shape the culinary traditions of the featured country, with fascinating sidebars on special ingredients and preparation techniques. The best feature of the World Food Guides is the fact that recipes are included, so you can try your hand at making Spanish romesco sauce, Moroccan bastila, or Vietnamese bahn xeo. You'll also find a food glossary, vivid photographs of ingredients and markets, tips and techniques, and much more.

A beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end – broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies and Lonely Planet was born. One hundred million guidebooks later, Lonely Planet is the world’s leading travel guide publisher with content to almost every destination on the planet.

Wonderful complement to the Turkish crime fiction and Middle East historical narratives I've enjoyed over this last year. Lonely Planet has come on another winning series, combining food and travel. Moves through each region of the country, featuring the foods, cultures, agriculture and cooking styles of each. Would love to experience this country!
Looking for the other works in the Lonely Planet World Food series. Thanks Ashland Public Library for this serendipitous find!

This is a beautifully photographed food series by Lonely Planet. Gorgeous design and a wonderful introduction to a new culture through their cuisine -- in this case Turkey.

Compact reference guide with interesting cultural tidbits in boxed text, such as tales of 13th century mystic Nasrettin Hoca.
