I received an ARC through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

If you know me at all, you know that I love food. This doesn’t necessarily mean that I have a very wide palate, or that I’ve tried very much in the way of cooking on my own. However, my mom lived in Turkey when she was younger, and she has always loved Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food, so when I saw this cookbook, I knew I wanted to give it a try.

I’ll go ahead and say that I was not able to make any of the dishes in this book, because I also have a full-time job. However, the photos in this cookbook are beautiful and look like things that could come out of my kitchen, if my kitchen was ever this clean and organized. I can only imagine how great that photoshoot must have smelled.
