The diversity of recipes appeals to me. I enjoy trying new flavors and foods.
Because the recipes are from different locations. For me traveling means sampling local flavor, trying something new. What’s the point of traveling to a new and exciting location only to grab a meal at a chain restaurant. I collect cookbooks and love trying new recipes with my family.

I think I would like the diversity of recipes in the book. I love finding out about new foods and recipes to liven up my cooking.
I like trying new thing and this sounds just like something I would use. TFS.
Reading the recipe names made my mouth water I am vegetarian and these all look like things I can make! Furthermore I recently went to Istanbul and everything Turkish was so very delicious! To be able to have those tastes again in my own house would be amazing!
I like that she adds stories in with the recipes to give background on the food.
This cookbook has a lot of vibrant colorful pictures which I like. The recipes sound very yummy.
