Classical Turkish Cooking: Traditional Turkish Food for the American Kitchen
By Ayla E. Algar
William Morrow Cookbooks - 1999
This cookbook definitely is inviting - on the first day I had it, I made two recipes from it already. Good selection of vegetarian recipes, too. Some recipes turn out to be very good, some are just OK, but always worth trying.
However, I would sometimes like a bit more detail. For instance, the recipe for ayran does not tell how much salt is needed, and that makes it difficult to make if you don't have a good idea already what ayran is supposed to taste like.
