*** DEAR FELLOW POSTCROSSERS, PLEASE WRITE SOMETHING ON YOUR CARD. IN MY CASE, WRITE ABOUT THE FOOD CULTURE OF YOUR COUNTRY/CITY. RECEIVING A CARD WITH "GREETINGS XX" IS QUITE DISAPPOINTING. PLS. SPARE A FEW MINUTES TO READ WHAT IS WRITTEN HERE. THANK YOU! ***

I'm a food/travel writer who loves both eating, cooking and traveling. I would love to receive postcards:

About food (vegetables, fruits, cheese, wine/other drinks)
Food markets (I love them!)
Cards by Nouvelle Images
Local dishes with recipes,
Menu cards (or even menus from a local restaurant!)
Cookingware (old stoves/ovens, wooden dishes/spoons, traditional pottery, old pots/pans etc)
Traditional women cooking/baking in traditional clothes,
farmlands,
Celebrations (weddings, new year, festivals etc)
Rituals with food in the center/around (religious or seasonal)

AND PLEASE WRITE SOMETHING ABOUT TRADITIONS RELATED TO FOOD. IF IT'S A CELEBRATION, WRITE HOW YOU CELEBRATE, WHAT YOU EAT DURING THE FESTIVAL, HOW YOU GET PREPARED FOR THAT HOLIDAY etc. THIS IS FOR A PROJECT I'VE BEEN WORKING ON AND I APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT.

If you're interested in Turkish food, you can visit my blog in English, where I share my food and photos:

For Turkish speaking people, here is my Turkish blog (or if you just want to see more photos of what I cook/bake/prepare/grow):

I'm not a collector but I'd love to see stamps of different countries so pls. try to send the card with stamps! Please no kittens, cats&dogs, dolls and related postcards. And please no AD cards unless it's related to food and you think it's interesting. Thank you!
