	CORNUCOPIA 4: BEYOGLU
	The Absolute Istanbul BEYOGLU The European Quarter		Home for centuries to diplomats, whores and clerics, Beyoglu was the elegant centre of the old cosmopolitan Istanbul. Today it thrives as Turkey's answer to Soho - arty, tarty and smart by turns, and the place for a wild night out.
	CORNUCOPIA 4: THE OLD CITY
	The Absolute Istanbul THE OLD CITY Bazaars and grand mosques		The grandeur of the city's oldest quarter has a grainier side. Behind the Topkapi Palace, Ayasofya and other buildings of world importance, the bazaars and the teeming streets that lead to them contain all manner of things to buy and restaurants to feast in.
	CORNUCOPIA 4: THE GOLDEN HORN
	The Absolute Istanbul THE GOLDEN HORN Shrines and sanctuaries		A ramshackle backwater of the city, the Golden Horn offers an unglamorous first impression. But its mysterious back streets, pretty churches and mosques, sacred springs and ruined city walls make it fascinating walking country.
	CORNUCOPIA 4: THE LOWER BOSPHORUS
	The Absolute Istanbul THE LOWER BOSPHORUS Downtown and out of town		On the lower shores of these magnificent straits, glamorous upbeat city life carries on alongside a peaceful older world of cafes, parks and palaces
	CORNUCOPIA 4: THE UPPER BOSPHORUS
	The Absolute Istanbul THE UPPER BOSPHORUS The quieter reaches		To escape the clamour of the city Istanbul heads upstream to its coastal playground - for the leisurely rhythm of waterside villages, the smart summer nightclubs, the forested hinterland and, beyond the forests, the golden sands of the Black Sea
	CORNUCOPIA 4: NISANTASI
	The Absolute Istanbul NISANTASI Fashion and design		Welcome to the smarter side of town. In Nisantasi you can shop till you drop - then dine out where the elite meet to eat. Here you will find haute couture, stylish shoes, opulent jewellery and fabulous furniture - both ancient and modern
	CORNUCOPIA 4: THE PRINCES ISLANDS
	The Absolute Istanbul THE PRINCES‘ ISLANDS Another world		Ideal for an escape from the city life, the four islands are a refuge of tranquillity and calm where the pace of life is governed by the horse.	Also see issue 16
	But the issue does not end there.... Read on for Anthony Bryer's glorious portrait of the David and Tamara Talbot Rices, Fritz von der Schulenburg's photographs of a pared down minimalism above the Bosphorus, and how to achieve the delivate taste of the marrow...
	CORNUCOPIA 4: PROFILE
	Portrait BYZANTINE DUET By Anthony Bryer		In 1928 David Talbot Rice, gentleman and scholar, and his new bride Tamara set off from Oxford to excavate the Great Palace of Byzantium. Tamara, an author of books on Seljuks and Scythians, talked to Anthony Bryer for this profile of the couple and their life together
	CORNUCOPIA 4: ISTANBUL INTERIORS
	Interiors TALL, WHITE AND HANDSOME By Jeremy James Photographs by Fritz von der Schulenburg		The Bechers' s serene apartment in Ayazpasha overlooking the Bosphorus uses colour with a light touch. Jeremy James was dazzled by its minimal brilliance.
	CORNUCOPIA 4: TURKISH COOKERY
	COOKERY THE TASTE OF AN EASTERN SUMMER Cooking with marrows Text and photographs by Berrin Torolsan		Summery herbs transform the versatile marrow into light, succulent dishes. Berrin Torolsan uses the fruit and the flower in classic Turkish recipes: Taratorlu Kabak / Stewed Courgettes with Nut Sauce Kabak Imam Bayildi / Courgettes in Olive Oil Kabak Kizartmasi / Courgette Fritters Kabak Boregi / Courgette Pie Mücver / Courgettes with Egg and Cheese Kabak Dolmasi / Stuffed Courgettes Kabak Kalyesi / Courgette Stew Kabak Çiçegi Dolmasi / Stuffed Marrow Flowers
