I'm a french girl married to a turkish guy, and your website just saved me! we live in france and my husband misses his country and especially his mum's food (like all turkish boys? ;) ), i did this recipe today and he was really surprised - it was so good! Just a question is your book published in french? I don't speak turkish yet and even though english is ok, french would be easier :)
