More about the book
Ottoman Cuisine... A culinary culture shaped by a group of elites who enjoyed fine food in the palace and its surroundings in Istanbul since the 15th century... This culture encompasses many topics, from the ingredients used and cooking methods to the variety of dishes, dining habits, meal times, table manners, and kitchen structures. The book on 500 years of Ottoman Cuisine first addresses the elements that constitute Ottoman culinary culture, then presents tried-and-true, feasible recipes from Ottoman cuisine. Sometimes reaching back to the 7th century Central Asia and at other times to the 9th century, the capital of the Abbasid Empire, Baghdad, the book also takes its readers on a historical journey through time and space.
