After last week’s conversation with Artful Baker author Cenk Sönmezsoy, I wanted to dive a little deeper into Turkish food, so I contacted Robyn Eckhart, author of the new book: Istanbul and Beyond, named one of this fall’s top 10 cookbooks by Publisher’s Weekly. 

 

Robyn writes about food and travel in Asia and Europe for the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Lonely Planet, and other publications. She also publishes the award-winning food blog EatingAsia with her husband, photographer David Hagerman. 

 

In this episode, we discuss how Turkey’s diverse geography influences the diet of the different regions, from the leafy greens of the Black Sea coast to the chili peppers of Hatay province. We also talk about what you should eat in Istanbul and Beyond and where to go to find the best food in Turkey.
