Issue 53 highlights:
Istanbul’s unspoilt archipelago: The final leg of Cornucopia’s four-part progress through Istanbul covers the archipelago in the Sea of Marmara, just 15 miles across the water from the domes of Ayasofya but a world away. A 64-page portrait with photographs by Brian McKee and Monica Fritz. Plus: Luigi Meyer’s Ottoman watercolours, Jean Étienne-Liotard’s luminous portraits, Turquerie, and Jazz Age Istanbul. Cookery: Broad Bean Feast – Berrin Torolsan explores twelve thousand years of taste and nourishment.

Published twice a year, Cornucopia is the magazine for connoisseurs of Turkey. This independent publication – gorgeous enough for the coffee table, serious enough to be found in academic libraries – is an ever-growing compendium of all things Turkish: history, culture, art, food, travel.

The arbiter of taste Tyler Brûlé has called Cornucopia in the FT ‘a cross between The World of Interiors and National Geographic, with a gentle Turkic twist’. For The New York Review of Magazines, ‘It’s a truism that the measure of a travel magazine’s success is whether it makes you yearn to visit the destinations it depicts. Cornucopia goes one better. It is a vacation in itself.’ For the blog Quintessence, ‘Cornucopia is indeed an apt name for this publication of plenty, overflowing with Turkish beauty, inspiration and edification.’
