Istanbul And Beyond: Exploring The Diverse Cuisines Of Turkey

"This beautifully shot tribute to Turkish cuisine is organized by region, traveling clockwise from Istanbul to the Black Sea to Iran, Iraq and Syria, and thence to the Mediterranean. It’s evenly divided between greens and grains, soups and meats. Everywhere, we see the passion for one kind of food inside another kind of food: stuffed doughs, stuffed leaves, nut-filled pastries. Pickles are quick, stews are slow and in every dish warm spices signal the region’s long history as a terminus of the Silk Road."
