CORNUCOPIA Issue 44, 2010

Issue 44 highlights:
From the startling couture of Dice Kayek to the astonishing history of the Washington Embassy and its most famous inhabitants, the Ertegün family, via the groundbreaking photographs of John Henry Haynes. Meanwhile Ro Fitzgerald finds a sea of blooms on the Aegean coast, Griselda Warr relives 1960s Istanbul, Min Hogg takes the road from Kars to Van. Plus ethereal interior photography from Metehan Özcan; and a feast of plums from Berrin Torolsan.

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.’
