Our cookbook of the week is Sebze by Turkish culinary expert Özlem Warren.

Jump to the recipes: Turkish şakşuka (baked eggplant, zucchini, peppers with tomato sauce), muhammara (walnut and red pepper paste dip) and tahinli fasulye piyazı (Antalya-style bean salad with tahini sauce).

Through her second book, Sebze, cooking teacher and Turkish culinary expert Özlem Warren hoped to bring readers a glimpse of her homeland — “to take them on a culinary journey.” Antakya in southern Turkey has been her family’s home for more than five generations. Two earthquakes rocked the region on Feb. 6, 2023, leaving the city in ruins and killing more than 50,000 people.
