TurkishCook - Turkish Food Delight Recipe - TurkishCook.com
Description
`Classical Turkish Cooking' by Ayla Algar is a great exemplar of what a cookbook describing an important national cuisine should be, if there are few or no other books on the subject in English. At the outset, it is important to point out that the author makes an excellent case for the historical fact that Turkish cuisine, based on a long history of cuisine from the Ottoman empire, which inherited much from the equally important Persian / Iranian cuisine, is a truly interesting food culture, distinctive in enough different ways from the general Eastern Mediterranean milieu to make it worthy of study and emulation.
Turkey's National drink has to be undoubtedly Raki or "Lion's Milk"! If you go to any good fish restaurant or to a local cafe where the men are playing backgammon, you will always see this famous adrink in abundance.
As in France, working people like to eat simple, well-prepared food at midday. In most lokantas you'll find a selection of meat and vegetable dishes which have been prepared and placed in warm serving dishes to await the noon rush.
