This book has been my dream in making; through my Turkish cookery classes and recipes I have shared with you in my blog, I have been writing this book for over 10 years. My sincere thanks goes to my family for all their support and GB Publishing for believing in me and all the wonderful team at GB Publishing and everyone, who worked hard to make it happen. Special thanks goes to dear Sian Irvine Photography for the amazing images she captured throughout the book.
This book is my tribute to the diverse, scrumptious Turkish cuisine and it is a celebration of my southern Turkish roots with regional recipes especially from my home town of Antakya, which is now a UNESCO approved World City of Gastronomy, I am very proud to see. My cooking has, and continues to be, inspired by this magical land and its people. Let me take you on a Turkish culinary journey with my book – to learn, taste and enjoy for yourself the delicious foods of my homeland and along the way I hope you will feel the warmth and generous spirit of our Turkish culture.
Ozlem’s Turkish Table; Recipes from My Homeland is a compilation of my favourite classic Turkish recipes as well as regional specialities from southern Turkey, with their exhilarating aromas, smells and colours. They have been lovingly prepared and passed down to me from my mother and grandmother. Â I share the recipes in this book with you in the hope that you will cook, enjoy and in turn, invite others to your own table to share a Turkish meal together.

Ozlem’s Turkish Table, Recipes from My Homeland cookery book – back cover
As you see at the back cover of my book, Ozlem’s Turkish Table (please disregard the text on the back cover, as it is work in progress), this book covers the diverse, wholesome Turkish cuisine. From hot & cold mezes (dips, salads, pastries) to vegetables cooked in olive oil, bulgur, legume and grain based dishes to southern Turkish specialities, meat, poultry, fish and desserts, there are scrumptious recipes to wet your apetite. All recipes are well tested with easy to follow instructions, with plenty of choices for vegetarian, gluten-free and vegan diets. Living abroad, I know how important it is to access ingredients; Turkish cuisine is based on seasonal produce, flavored with artful use of herbs, spices, olive oil (as well as natural condiments like pomegranate molasses, which is widely available now and I have a recipe for it in my book) and my book showcases that. Wherever needed, I offer alternatives and substitution.

A beautiful still life shot from my cookery book, Ozlem’s Turkish Table, with my family photos
This book is also a love letter to my homeland and a special tribute to my parents, Gulcin and Orhan and my grandparents, for instilling the love of good food and importance of sharing, generosity and hospitality to us; pillars of Turkish culture. There are personal stories and black and white family photos in the book, which are very dear to me and special to share with you all.
Another special touch from the book for me is the prominent cookery author, dear Ghillie Basan‘s foreword in the book. Ghillie’s wonderful Turkish cookery books and workshops have been a huge inspiration for me and she has been a role model; I am honored to have her beautiful words in my book.
Ozlem’s Turkish Table cookery book can be pre-ordered through this link and will be shipped worldwide. Pre-orders will have the first priority and will be distributed as of late February/early March 2018. General release day of the book will be April 2018.
