James first visited Turkey as a student, at the end of an eastern European trip. He lived on bread and cheese triangles for a week in Istanbul and the Princes' Islands, before using the last of his funds to get home to Britain. His latest Turkish trip was more successful: wandering Anatolia and making up for student starvation by spending his entire fee on kebaps. When he's not investigating various countries' national dishes, James lives in London's "Little Turkey." He has contributed to half a dozen LP guidebooks, and co-authored A Year of Festivals, featuring Turkey's camel- and oil-wrestling festivals.
