Rick Stein: From Venice to Istanbul by Rick Stein
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Rick Stein’s new book is a feast for the senses. From the beautiful hardcover (just as gorgeous without the dust jacket as it is with it!), to the glorious photos and amazing recipes, From Venice to Istanbul is an absolute delight!
From Moussaka to Kofte, Hummus to Baklava, all you need to cook the delightful cuisine of the Eastern Mediterranean is found within these pages. Make your own Pide Bread to eat with your homemade Lamb and Pistachio Kofte or Cilbir.
Most of us are familiar with some of the Mediterranean cuisines from places like Italy and Greece, but this book takes you to further, to places like Turkey, Albania and Croatia. Try Rozata, a creme caramel flavored with rose water from Croatia, or Gozleme from Turkey or Chicken Yufka from Albania.
Put a little spice in your life, and travel outside your comfort zone to sample these delightful cuisines from far flung places. I think you’ll be glad you did!
I received a copy of this book from Trafalgar Publishing through IPG for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
