Episode 87: Istanbul and Beyond (Including China, Malaysia, Italy and more!)

Robyn Eckhardt's love letter (tome really) of a book to the people and food of Turkey just came out. Istanbul and Beyond is a beautiful cookbook about a place most Americans can only vaguely identify on a map, yet exists at the intersection of both the beginnings of historical agriculture and modern international affairs. Robyn has lived in Malaysia for 12 years and recently relocated to Piemonte, Italy. Originally hailing form the midwest, tune in to hear more about the "Beyond" and how what started as a year in China turned into a life's work, eating, cooking and writing about food.
