    "description": "The food of Istanbul is as rich, colourful and multilayered as the ancient culture that created it. Rebecca Seal successfully manages the unimaginable: bringing it to us in its full magnificent glory. - Yotam Ottolenghi Walk the streets of Istanbul and you ll see a city of wonderful contradictions: step out of a stylish modern bar and you re likely to turn a corner and find lamb kebabs roasting over coals on a tiny food cart, in the shadow of towering minarets. This fascinating place, where East meets West and Europe borders Asia, inspired Rebecca Seal and Steven Joyce to create Istanbul, a food tour of the city. From simple meze dishes to fragrant Ottoman-era stews, this book is full of delicious recipes - try roasted aubergines stuffed with spiced lamb, crunchy fennel salad speckled with pomegranate or sumac-marinated roast chicken, and be transported to the kitchens of Istanbul. Set against the backdrop of Steven Joyce s stunning food and travel photography, Istanbul is a colourful and exciting gastronomical jaunt around one of the world s most fascinating cities.  ",
