Where East Meets West

Those traveling long distances by car or bus in Turkey are immediately impressed at the great diversity in the landscape.

In this land of contrasting environments, it is not surprising to find many regional culinary variations.

In the links below, author Joan Peterson presents a brief portrait of Turkish cookery, including its customs and recipes, from her book, Eat Smart In Turkey from Ginkgo Press. Content reproduced with permission.
