Turkish Flavours by Sevtap Yüce


Firmly grounded in the notion of ingredients speaking for themselves, Sevtap Yüce’s debut cookbook Turkish Flavours: Recipes from a Seaside Café presents a collection of wonderful recipes spanning from her childhood in Turkey to her Australian life as the owner of Beachwood, her café in Yamba, New South Wales.

The book couples beautiful recipes and accompanying photography with Yüce’s earnest stories of her Turkish upbringing in Ankara. Her nostalgia of eating well is heightened by tales of family members harvesting their own fresh produce and lovingly preparing their staple ingredients from scratch, including yoghurt and filo pastry.

The recipes are heartfelt and unpretentious ranging from tahini flatbreads and her Baba’s Honeycomb butter for breakfast. An entire chapter is dedicated to mezze providing an abundance of dips for sharing platters. Her desserts offer a refreshing take on established dishes; polenta and semolina cakes are united with caramelised figs, dates and nuts.

Turkish Flavours offers a brief yet breathtaking snapshot of a culture hinged on sharing food with family and friends. A charming publication.






Digital media student Alana loves pixels and food. Her blog, alanabread.com, illustrates her love of homely cooking for friends and family. She hopes to one day pursue a career in food or photography, or both.
