If
you have ever read Jason Goodwin’s Ottoman detective series featuring Yashim
the eunuch who is passionate about food then you will understand and appreciate
the love of food that flows throughout the series. Jason Goodwin has parlayed
all the delicious food that can be found in the series into a wonderfully
written and colourful recipe book entitled Yashim
Cooks Istanbul. Yashim Cooks Istanbul is based around the 5 books in the series and
is also filled with quotes from the series.
The recipes in Yashim
Cooks Istanbul have been chosen
with a lot of care. They are not only
very exotic and flavourful but are also satisfyingly simple to make. Gorgeous is a word that comes to mind.
Yashim
Cooks Istanbul
is much more than a recipe book. This
book is perfect for fans of the series and food lovers as well, and especially
those who love Turkish food. Glossy, a page-turner and with pictures to die for
this is a book that you will return to time and time again. If reading and cooking some of the recipes
don’t make you want to read the series then nothing else will.
Yashmin Cooks Istanbul by Jason Goodwin is out now published
by Argonaut Books £25.00
