crispychez Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 This is a bit of a long shot really - I was just wondering if anyone can help me out with either a good turkish cook book or just some recipes - in order for me to impress the other half.

Kell Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I'm trying to find my recipe for Kofte for you, but I can't find it! I know I have it sitting about somewhere, so I'll get back to you on this one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freewheeling Andy Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Maybe not Turkish, as such, but Claudia Roden's Book Of Middle Eastern Cookery is excellent on the whole Eastern Med's cuisine (and north african). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jake Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Not exactly a book, but maybe this could give you some ideas see here . And welcome to the forum Crispy . I have travelled in Turkey a few times and I adored Boreks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispychez Posted February 18, 2006 Author Share Posted February 18, 2006 Thanks you guys, Kel I left a message for you on the other topic about this. Freewheeling andy - good idea but unfortuanetly when your partner is turksih on turkish food will do ha ha Thanks Jake for the link - will have a rummage around on there later - great idea but I think Boreks are a bit advanced for me at the moment!!! - need to start off with some of the casseroles etc. Thanks again everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Ooh, I adore cigara borek - absolutely yummy! They were one of my favourite starters out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamacita Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Ages ago, I worked with a gal whose husband was from Turkey. He made the most wonderful dolmades--stuffed vine leaves. If I remember correctly, she said he used rice and black currants rather than regular raisins/sultanas. They were slightly sweet with an olive oil undertone. Anyone ever taste anything like that...maybe have a recipe you'd like to share? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jake Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 My father loved dolmades he used to make them all the time, I of course turned my nose up! He used to cook all sorts of exotic stuff, he had a huge double cupboard full of all sorts of herbs & spices and potions. I inherited my mum's cooking skills she introduced me to M&S LOL!
