Mickey Pek has written a unique cookbook sharing almost 100 dishes she learned to cook from the best of the best! They are her friends, neighbors, relatives, housekeepers, gardeners, caretakers, and chefs.
She has provided extensive information on what to use as well as what not to use as alternatives when appropriate produce and other products are not available..
The recipes she has adopted and adapted attempt to recreate and, whenever possible, simplify the dishes using readily available ingredients, spices, modern equipment, and techniques.
Why! The ingredients may be available, but the freshness is not, or the variant is slightly different.
Her small Turkish Kitchen has produced amazing dishes but often, when she returned stateside, she struggled to recreate the magic.
