Street Foods of Turkey

One of the most fascinating and unique aspects of urban life in Turkey is the variety, richness and quality of food one can purchase in the streets from itinerant vendors. Street Foods of Turkey documents a wide variety of these street foods, from fresh produce to prepared meals sold on hand-pushed carts, in glass display cases mounted on wheels or simply in baskets and trays.

Made up of a rich palette of colors, tastes and smells unique to the urban culinary culture of Turkey, Street Foods of Turkey also demonstrates the culinary possibilities inspired by these popular street foods.

The colorful varieties of street food is documented in this book by season—Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn, with an extra section, All Year Round—together with recipes, historical background and cultural notes. Illustrated with beautifully taken photographs, this book will inspire all who are interested in the vibrant street food scene in Turkey.
