Tulum, a much-acclaimed modern Turkish restaurant in Melbourne, recently awarded its first Chefs Hat by the Melbourne Good Food Guide, is the creation of one of Australia’s most exciting new chefs, Coskun Uysal. With 7 chapters representing the 7 diverse regions of Turkey, each with their own seasonal ingredients, this handsome cookbook captures the essence of Tulum’s delicious modern Turkish cuisine. Now the book allows the home cook to create delicious, refined dishes from all 7 regions. That same year he was nominated for Best Chef of the year, Best Casual Dining and Best New Restaurant by Time Out, and he won the Best Casual Dining award.
Tulum takes traditional, usually Anatolian, recipes and gives them contemporary twists using modern techniques. Coskun’s Australian diners can now appreciate the varieties and rich traditions of Turkish cuisine, which is a far cry from its old image of dips and kebabs.
