This is a book about and for the people, communities, and food of Manisa province, Türkiye. From the Bronze Age to the present, it is a story about the food traditions that individuals, especially women, chose to prioritise and therefore keep alive, sometimes for millennia. Yet, as food priorities shift in response to our rapidly changing world, more and more decision-making is required. Consequently, this is both a cookbook and a guidebook for those wishing to find balance in their own food priorities, as well as a permanent record of these recipes and activities.
