Those of you who are handy in the kitchen and love whipping up new dishes for the family to try, will like these Turkish food blogs. Recipes include simple and easy dishes to gourmet food that will impress anyone at a dinner party.
I am certainly not talented in the kitchen but often sit down with a cup of coffee for a great read and a subtle introduction to new Turkish dishes. (Note: I am yet to produce any successful dishes but prey for the day when I miraculously wake up, with an ability to cook).
In each summary for the blogs below, I have also highlighted a recipe that grabbed my attention. So head across and have a read of these top-notch Turkish food blogs.
If you like what you see, do not forget to follow them on Facebook so you know when they publish the next tasty and tempting recipe.
Four Turkish Food Blogs
1 : My Turkish Joys
An American expat living in Istanbul, Joyce concentrates on “Living and Cooking in Turkey. Eating and Traveling Everywhere.” She has baked for the local neighbourhood before and must have impressed them as they invited her back.
Recipe to Try : Those of you living in Turkey will have noticed, cherries are now in season and sold everywhere, so try Joyce’s new recipe for Cherry – Lemonade Cocktail, the perfect thing for hot summer days.
2 : Ozlem’s Turkish Table
Ozlem was born and bred in Turkey but now lives as an expat in England. A love for food in general led her to start the blog, as well as cooking classes, culinary and culture tours.
She promises to help you “recreate wonderful recipes in your own home”
Which recipe grabbed my attention? Well everyone loves Turkish delight so it just has to be homemade Turkish delight of course!
3 : A Seasonal Cook in Turkey
Claudia not only delivers great recipes but she is always visiting local markets and exploring.
While most people will opt for a cat or a dog as a pet, she has taken charge of 17 milk-producing cows instead!
Recipe that sounds tasty : I could not choose between two so I have included both as they make a complete meal – Does Sumakli Kofte with a simple but tasty “Turkish Shepherds Salad” tempt your taste buds?
4 : Almost Turkish Recipes
Burcu was born and raised in Turkey but now lives in the States. She focuses on traditional Turkish recipes but also gets inspiration to create her own dishes, hence the blog name.
Check out dishes for summer and winter, the red meat section also has plenty of tasty options.
Which recipe appeals to me? : This recipe for tomato soup with Greek noodle nests really caught my eye.
Readers Question: Have these Turkish food blogs made you hungry?
Tempting, aren’t they? 
Oh, thanks for the mention Natalie. Yes, we do love a bit of food and cooking, especially of the Turkish variety. Love all the other blogs you mentioned above, too. We’re in good company, there. Burcu’s was the first blog we ever came across, funnily enough – before we even knew what a blog was!

So kind of you Natalie, thank you very much for the mention. A big part of Turkish culture is hospitality, and “sharing the food” comes natual to it. And I think that’s what my blog is about, it is a joy to share Turkish food, culture, traditions and hear other’s experiences. I follow all the other food blogs you mentioned and feels great to share this passion.
Cheers to you, Selamlar,
Ozlem
