Double Cream Silivri! – Turkey's Yogurts charts the journey and evolution of

Turkey's national food from antiquity through to modern times: yoğurt is made and consumed the length and breadth of the land from Edirne to Batman, Eskişehir and Gaziantep; at times an accompaniment enhancing a dish, at others, a medication curing illnesses, a soup filling stomachs or a cool, refreshing drink.

Artun Ünsal and photographer Cemal Emden have travelled across Turkey to observe and photograph how these yogurts are made in many cities, towns and villages. Couple Emden's wonderful photographs with Ünsal's distinctive, cordial account of facts, stories and quoted memories, the result of a vast research into hundreds of sources, and Double Cream Silivri! – Turkey's Yogurts greets us as a book deserving the pride of place in any bibliophile's bookcase, and not only those of yogurt lovers, food enthusiasts or cultural historians.
