Her newest book, Istanbul, offers a chance to taste the kinds of dishes you'd find in different sorts of eateries around the city. “One of the reasons that I wrote Istanbul was the fact that, it really is not just kebabs and this and that, that you might just see superficially, perhaps in a touristy areas. You really need to dig deep. Go to different neighborhoods to check out delicious regional specialties.” In this episode of The Dinner Plan, Özlem shares her weeknight shortcuts for Turkish recipes, and paints a picture of her favorite dishes from Istanbul's grilling restaurants, all-day cafés, and more. If you've been wanting to add some Turkish recipes to your repertoire, this new book is a great place to start.
