  • A divan with a view in a mansion in the eastern Black Sea valley of Çamlihemşin

Having fallen in love with Turkey in the Sixties, it is hardly surprising that at ther launch of Cornucopia in 1992, I should become an instant fan – and, eventually, an occassional contributor. Many of the tangible and pleasing reminders acquired on those first excursions to the country whose infinite variety continues to lure me back are with me still.

There is the simplest of lanterns, commissioned during a pause at a lorry stop on the road to Aphrodisias, made as I waited from recylcled food tins; the beautiful old crinkly cream silk shawl fringed with silver sequins; and the many metres of blue and white striped awning material that ended up as my London sofa cover – just a few of the serendipitous finds finds made during holidays otherwise dedicated to glorying in classical sites, beaches and landscapes.

  • Cornucopia – A Celebration

    When Cornucopia started up in 1992, its aim was to venture beyond the picture postcard to capture Turkey in its infinite variety. Interiors, travel, food, wine, people and places – all these and more would find expression in fine writing and beautiful photgraphy.
