Cornucopia Magazine ist eine englischsprachige Publikation.

Issue 61 highlights:
After our lavish Istanbul museums issue (No 60), we escape the city altogether. Sir Don McCullin, whose retrospective opens at Tate Liverpool in the autumn, sets off with the author Barnaby Rogerson on the road to ancient Pergamon. We then head into the mountains of southwest Anatolia, where the conservationist Nicholas Haslam and the French photographer Paul Veysseyre record the vanishing villages of Lake E?irdir, and Andrew Byfield goes bulb-hunting in the Taurus Mountains. The avant-garde artist Alexis Gritchenko, a refugee from the Russian Civil War who spent nearly two years in Istanbul in 1919–21, brings vibrant colour to our cover. His work is celebrated this year by the Me?her gallery in Beyo?lu. Plus: Ice Cool – magically simple recipes for sherbets and sorbets.

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.’
