I LOVED THIS BOOK. I finished it, and then read it all over again. You might expect it to be a boring family history, but it reads like a novel. Better than a novel, actually - because all the people (and secrets) are real... and you care about them so much - not least Josceline Dimbleby, who infects you with her fascination for the story. You feel it's a book that was written because it HAD to be written. There is nobody, of any age, that won't enjoy this. I'm going to save on hassle this Christmas and just buy this for everybody. Although... maybe I'll wait till 2005, till it's out in paperback. What's the point in hardbacks anyway? They're expensive, and they dig into your thighs. The publishing industry in this country needs to WAKE ... Read More:

The odd thing about Josceline Dimbleby is that she takes ingredients that shouldn't really go together, puts them together, and somehow it works. I came across her "Almost Vegetarian Cookbook" a fair few years ago and, in spite of initial misgivings, was won over. This book is longer and better. A good example of her idiosyncratic style would be the very rich chocolate cake that is designed to collapse and contains a bizarre range of fragrant spices. Reading it you probably won't be inspired, but faith does pay off. They're not necessarily 30 minute cook style, but they are impressive and inspiring. Though my inspired attempts at combining things that shouldn't work together, have generally resulted in things that don't.

In many Turkish cookery books i cannot obtain the ingredients in the uk in order to carry out the recipe but I found few receipes in this book where this occured.Full colour photographs of the dishes , a nicely laid out book which I hope most of you will enjoy reading and using as much as I have.
