The Ottoman Empire lasted for 600 years and stretched across three continents at its height. There was an extraordinary diversity of cultures, flora, and fauna across this vast empire - and that meant for a rich, varied cuisine. Going all the way back to earliest Ottoman cookbooks, chef M. Ömür Akkor, has collected a rich sampling of Ottoman meals. These recipes, taken from the great chefs of the Ottoman's great palaces and from the ordinary kitchens of Ottoman homes, provide a delicious introduction to the kind of cuisines that united one of the greatest empires in history. Part history lesson, part cookbook, Ottoman Cuisine brings history alive - in your kitchen!
