    Completely Useless- Other Reviews Must Be Friends of the Author
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 8, 2015*

I originally posted prior to my trip and gave this a better reviews. My criticism was that the book was too big to fit into a purse or pocket. However, I brought this book with me on our trip. Most menu items or dishes listed in the book, WE NEVER SAW LISTED on a menu.  Never. The majority of the most common items we saw on menus were not listed in the book. The book is poorly organized so it is hard to look things up fast and it's big (as I mentioned previously). Save your money and just take a Lonely Planet pocket sized language translation book. We found the common items on menus listed in alphabetical order.  Much easier to use. I'm thankful we had it since this book was completely useless. The other reviewers must be friends of the author.Our trip was a little more than 2 weeks long. We rented a car and drove from Istanbul, down through Gallipoli area, took a car ferry across at Cannakale, then followed the coast until Side, then drove to the Goreme area, went to Ankara, and finished in Istanbul. We stayed in towns and villages that varied greatly in size. So, my point is that it's not like we didn't spend a lot of time in Turkey and go a lot of places. Maybe this book would be better in the areas near Syria, Iraq, and Iran but most of us travelers probably choose not to get too close to those areas.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Fine comprehensive look at turkish cuisine and culture
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 18, 2008*

This is a fine look at turkish cuisine and culture.  It goes into the history and the different regions and includes a selection of recipes that can be tried at home.  The turkish language section is particularly useful as an aid to learning appropriate words and phrases to be able to order food and drinks in restaurants, bars and markets.I find when I travel that trying local and regional food is one of the highlights of the trip.  This book will be an invaluable aid to my next trip.  Strongly recommended

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Very basic overview
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 26, 2009*

While the book indeed produces a basic overview of Peruvian cuisine and its complexities, it is lacking all but the most simplistic histories and evolutions of Peruvian cuisine.  The writing is neither compelling nor particularly well organized and edited.  I was hoping for more.
