While it is a neat cookbook and is useful to a home cook, it has no value to anyone that wants to do scholarly research on the history of Ottoman cuisine. There is no bibliography or citations of sources and the only two sources mentioned in the text are from the 19th and 20th century. There are earlier sources to draw from and it is apparent this author knows of them but hasn't chosen to cite them. the back cover mentions a rich history of Ottoman cuisine dating back 600 years and promises a history lesson but fails to deliver.
I would love to give it a better rating, but the book is very short, and there are simply better books out there on this topic.
I look forward to the recipes.
Magnificent cookbook!
