description: 'Welcome to the extremely tasty world of modern Turkish-Cypriot food - what a stunning and beautiful book' - Peter GordonWith influences from the Mediterranean Southern Europe and the Middle East Turkish-Cypriot food offers incredible flavour combinations unique to its region. Oklava: The Cookbook celebrates the culinary delights of this area in a way no cookbook has done before. Oklava translates simply as 'rolling pin'. For Selin Kiazim this word conjures up memories of her Turkish-Cypriot grandmother: a rolling pin was never far from her hands which meant a delicious treat was imminent. The same can be said for this book. These sensational recipes will take you on a journey from home-cooked meals and summers spent in North Cyprus to an exciting interpretation of modern Turkish-Cypriot cooking in London. Bring the Oklava experience into your home with Turkish delights such as Pistachio-crusted Banana &amp; Tahini French Toast with Orange Blossom Syrup &amp; Smoked Streaky Bacon; Grilled Quails with Palm Sugar Sumac &amp; Oregano Glaze; Courgette Feta &amp; Mint Fritters; Crispy Pomegranate-Glazed Lamb Breast with Yoghurt; Chilli-Roast Cauliflower; and Chocolate Prune &amp; Cardamom Delice.
