Sebze: Vegetarian Recipes from My Turkish Kitchen
Sebze is a remarkable collection of 85 delicious vegetarian recipes from the heart of Türkiye (Turkey).
‘Sebze’ translates as ‘vegetables’ in Turkish, and this vegetarian cookbook is inspired by a region with thousands of years of rich and diverse culinary heritage from skilled food writer and passionate cookery teacher, Özlem Warren.

And let’s not forget the sweets, including Özlem’s take on the much-loved classic, Baklava.
Özlem provides easy, sustainable and seasonal swaps to make dishes work whatever your diet – whether you are gluten-free, vegan or simply veggie curious – making Sebze the perfect introduction to Turkish food for every home cook.
