Istanbul by Sam A Harris

The greatest place to eat on earth? It’s a hill Sam A Harris is willing to die on, and we’re so glad for it.

For Özlem Warren’s latest book, Istanbul, he travelled to the eponymous melting pot where continents, seas and cultures collide.

Backing up his claims, the depth of each dish is seen not just in the literal layers of pastry, but also in the colours and textures of Turkish ingredients. Consider us converted, and hungry.
