Patricia Daunt excavates the stories behind the Hôtel Nissim de Camondo in Paris. We hunt for the fabulous flora of Mount Ida and celebrate Emin Barın’s beautiful calligraphy, then head off to the milky way – with celestial puddings

In Turkey ‘muhallebi’ forms part of everyone’s diet, from babies to grandmothers, for it is wonderfully nourishing.

The Camondo family, once dubbed ‘the Rothschilds of the East’, amassed a fortune in Turkey before moving to Paris in 1869.

By Patricia Daunt with photographs by Jean Marie del Moral.
