Award-winning Turkish food writer Özlem Warren, born and raised in Turkey, spent her career sharing her homeland's cuisine before turning her full attention to the city she loves most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eRather than sticking to the dishes visitors typically encounter, Warren digs into Istanbul's individual neighbourhoods, moving through its breakfast cafés, meze-focused meyhanes, home-style buffet restaurants, bakeries, and streetside carts serving simit, gözleme, and grilled mackerel sandwiches. The result is a collection of more than 80 recipes shaped by the many ethnic groups who have called the city home, from Hünkar Begendi (lamb stew over smoked aubergine) and Soganli Menemen (scrambled eggs with tomatoes, peppers, and onions) to Çerkez Tavugu, a Circassian chicken dish in walnut sauce, and Sekerpare, semolina cookies soaked in syrup and topped with pistachios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWarren writes with an insider's eye, favouring the regional specialities and local favourites that get overlooked in more touristy accounts of the city, while keeping every recipe approachable for home cooks. It's the follow-up to her earlier books Özlem's Turkish Table and Sebze, both Gourmand Award winners, and cements her reputation as one of the most trusted voices writing about Turkish food today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePraised by chefs and food writers as a genuine love letter to the city, Istanbul is as much a portrait of a place as it is a cookbook, capturing a metropolis that Warren describes as a feast for every sense.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Distribution \u0026 Logistics Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47293661085884,"sku":"9781837835072","price":55.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/6255\/1228\/files\/IstanbulOzlemWarrenProduct.jpg?v=1787108919","url":"https:\/\/www.chartandmapshop.com.au\/products\/istanbul-delicious-recipes-from-the-heart-of-the-city","provider":"The Chart and Map Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
