Turkish coffee holds a special place in Turkish culture and during the economic difficulties, it was not unusual to keep back the very little Turkish coffee that people could get their hands on for guests or special occasions but what would they drink themselves?

Last week as we drove through the tree-lined streets of Aydın city centre we were greeted with the sight of citrus trees groaning with their fragrant sour fruit ripe for the picking.

When it comes to eating corn, nothing beats that first bite of in-season corn on the cob. Hands full with the weighty treat, that telltale crunch as your teeth cut through each of the golden nuggets to gain the sweet, creamy nectar.

For me cookbook is much more than the sum of recipes, it's the photography, the introductions and backgrounds for each dish as well as the mood the author portrays. Here are the cookbooks that help me to get the best out of my Turkish kitchen.

Although throughout the year, we have jars of homemade salça (sundried tomato paste) sitting in the pantry. Nothing quite compares to the burst of flavour that shines through from fresh tomatoes when the summertime hits us.
