Travellers’ Tales

($/€ approx)


This issue we walk through deepest rural Anatolia in 1981 with donkeys setting the pace, become a fly on the wall in Topkapı Palace c1781, dscover a quintessential Ottoman mansion in Bulgaria – and end the issue with a bowl of refreshing Field Marshal Moltke’s Wuschaff – a Turkish compote! To celebrate the launch of the latest Cornucopia book, we also track down exquisite flowers in the Celestial Mountains and meet the amazing wild camel in the Gobi Desert.

We also pay tribute to departed friends, including Minnie Garwood, inventor of the infamous Hill Cocktail, and David Barchard, a Cornucopia writer from the very first, whom we tragically lost on Christmas Day.
