Mangal II: Stories and Recipes

Shortlisted in the “Debut Cookery Book” category at the 2025 Fortnum & Mason Food and Drink Awards, and featured on BBC One’s Saturday Kitchen and the This is TASTE podcast, this is the first cookbook from East London’s iconic restaurant Mangal II.

Guided by the vision of the Dirik brothers, who continue the legacy of their father, Turkish chef Ali Dirik—founder of the UK’s first ocakbaşı, Mangal I, in 1994—the book brings contemporary Turkish recipes into the 21st century.

Featuring over 60 original recipes alongside heartfelt essays about the story and culinary passion of Mangal II, the book includes signature dishes like Cull Yaw Meatballs with Grilled Apple Sauce, Grilled Chickpea Hummus, Sourdough Pide, Manti, and Tahini Tart, all written by Sertaç Dirik. The foreword by Action Bronson highlights the restaurant’s unique story and its devoted London following.

Mangal II is the perfect guide for anyone looking to explore contemporary Turkish cuisine and try authentic recipes in their own kitchen.
