“An absolute feast of Turkish home cooking” – Diana Henry

“I absolutely love getting lost in this book. Wonderful recipe after wonderful recipe. You are in excellent hands with Özlem as your guide. The text and stories transport you, while simultaneously making you extremely hungry, for food and discovery alike.” – Joe Woodhouse

Sebze is a celebration of some of Turkey’s most celebrated and most loved vegetable recipes and there is nobody better equipped to share them with us than Özlem.” – Sabrina Ghayour

Inspired by thousands of years of rich and diverse culinary heritage, Sebze is a recipe collection built with convenience and flavour in mind, championing popular Turkish classics, along with lesser-known regional specialties, such as Gözleme (Stuffed Flatbreads), Çılbır (Turkish Style Poached Eggs with Garlicky Yoghurt), Beetroot with Walnuts and Pomegranate Molasses, Easy Herby Pan Börek, Otlu tava böreği, Nohut Dürümü (Gaziantep’s Spiced Chickpea Wrap) and more. You will be glad to know there are scrumptious sweet treats in Sebze too, from the Turkish classic milk-based Fırın Sütlaç to the luscious Pumpkin and Walnut Baklava – Özlem Warren’s take on the much-loved classic.

A passionate and skilled advocate for her national cuisine, Özlem will show you how to make meals that you want to – and can – cook, making Sebze the perfect introduction to Turkish food for the home cook.
