Nevin Halici is a renowned Turkish food writer. She has travelled to all the regions of Turkey to record recipes from women in towns and villages. She has published several volumes of these regional recipes, which are highly valued by Turkish chefs and food writers. She is regarded as a national treasure.

Before embarking on this work, which took many years, she taught cooking and food science In Konya.

In the 1980s and 1990s she frequently attended the Oxford Symposium on Food and contributed papers on a variety of Turkish foods that were little known in the UK, such as pekmez, mastic,  and other spices used in Turkish food.
