Turkish Recipes & a Preview of "An Evil Eye"
From the Macmillan website: "Detective Yashim is more than a sleuth—he’s also a great cook. And as the Financial Times says, "What is there not to love in a detective who enjoys cooking as much as he enjoys eating?"
Cooking with Yashim presents a selection of authentic Turkish recipes to celebrate the publication of An Evil Eye, the fourth novel in the series by Edgar Award winner Jason Goodwin.
Like a turban glimpsed on the street, a draft of sweet coffee, or the slender shadow of a minaret, Yashim’s dishes help to re-create the flavors of 19th-century Istanbul—its abundance of seasonal vegetables, fresh fish drawn from the waters of the Bosporus and the Sea of Marmara, the ubiquitous soups and grilled lamb, the yogurt, and the spices that scent the air of the Egyptian bazaar."

I expected so very much more, and I was so very disappointed. I guess you pay nothing, you get nothing. ( )

What a disappointment! I thought I was getting a collection of recipes for Turkish dishes. Instead I got an introduction to a series of books by the author and to his blog. The book only contained 4 recipes. I'm glad this was a free Kindle download instead of something for which I paid. ( )
