”the beetroot” book

How we humans experience food is a complex process. They consist of taste, color, and smell. Chemical processes create them. Cultural influences shape our perception of eating physiological processes that occur when we eat. It also involves the sensory systems that allow us to detect and interpret the information we receive on our plates in the form of a ready dish.

The “Burak” (“The Beetroot”) book is divided into two parts. The first one consists of a series of poems describing the cooking process and the emotions associated with it. The second contains photographs that illustrate the recipes defined in the verses. The pictures try to capture the atmosphere of the moment of serving and eating and the emotions associated with it. Together, they give the most complete picture of this complex and multidimensional experience that is cooking and eating.
