From the Orkhon inscriptions, which are the first written documents of the Turkish language, and the Works which have been presented during the history of the Turkish language we can get information about which professions are dealt with in the Turkish society. An the XIth century in the work which is important for Turkish language and literature such as Kutadgu Bilig, and also the Works drawn up type of politics, advice mentioned about work ethics. The vocational pamphlets themselves drawn up later. An important part of these vocational pamphlets which were drawn up at XVIIth-XVIIIth centuries, in the collections of various libraries in Sweden, St. Petersburg and Berlin. These pamphlets are being studied in Turkey, Sweden, China, Uzbekistan and elsewhere. In this article we study on pamphlet of cooking one of the various vocational pamphlets. Risale-i Aş-fezlik is located between 3b-38b leafs of manuscript registered a402 of the St Petersburg Institute of Oriental Manuscripts. There is no information about the auther, scribe and date of copy of manuscript. According to its language characterictics which was written at the end of the XVIIIth century and the beginning of the XIXth century, after classical era of Eastern Turkish, where at Uighur Autonomous region in the people‟s republic of China, particularly supposed to be written in Kashgar, Yarkend or Hoten, is a vocational pamhlet. With its subject the pamphlet carries the features of fütüvvetname which reflects the effects of mystical cultures and the communities and institutions that have emerged whithin these cultures at Turkey, Middle Eastern and especially Iranian regions. It‟s mentioned at this pamphlet that the necessity of doing the works with a religious ritual and ethical rules, rather than what is profession of cooking or how it done. With this point of wiev, it makes us thinking that Ahi organization and fütüvvetname tradition which had been playing a major role among the craftsmen and tradesman since XIIIth century, also plays a role at east Turkish field. In this idea, effects of the tradition of kesbname which rose in India at the time of Mogol rule and than spreaded in Maveraünnehir and the tradition of akılık which was important among the old Turkish tribes and comminities, is great.
