Description
Book Synopsis
Greg and Lucy Malouf's classic cookbook Turquoise is now available as a new edition.
In Turquoise Greg and Lucy Malouf delight us by bringing their own inimitable blend of food and travel writing to the Turkish culinary landscape - one which remains curiously unexplored by many of us in the Western world. Greg and Lucy journey through a land where the rich diversity of climate, countryside and architecture provide a fitting background for an equal variety and richness of cuisine.
Join them as they visit spice markets and tiny soup kitchens, taste fish sandwiches on the Bosphorus, enjoy Ottoman banquets in fine restaurants and drink çay in ancient tea houses. Inspired by the foods they discover along the way, some of the recipes in Turquoise are classics, such as Dumplings Filled with Cheese and Mint and Sticky Pistachio Baklava. Many more spring from Greg's unique talent and imagination, which combine here to create dishes like Spicy Red Pepper Soup with 'Hamsi' Toasts; 'Tulum' Cheese Salad with Roasted Walnuts, Rocket and Mint; and Clotted Cream Ice Cream with Apricots and Fresh Honeycomb.
