My friend Yasemin Ari has a relatively new blog. At Yasemin's Kitchen: Mediterranean Recipes with a Turkish Flair Yasemian stirs up a wonderful mixture of Turkish food and lore.
When I first met Yasemin, she was a key member of one of the most productive hardware and software development teams I’ve ever known. Odds are very high that you have or have had one of the products that Yasemin helped develop in your office or home. Think of the integrated circuits in your fax machine for example. Now she develops recipes and instructions on how to prepare food from one of the tastiest culinary traditions the world has ever known.
