When Angie Brenner and Joy Stocke met on the balcony of a guesthouse in the small resort town of Kalkan, Turkey, they discovered a shared love of history, literature, cooking, and local food traditions. They soon set off on a cultural adventure that spanned more than 15 years. Returning to their American kitchens, they recreated the flavors of Anatolia as a culinary souvenir and incorporated that sensibility into the food they cook every day for themselves and their families and friends.
Inspired by their memoir, Anatolian Days & Nights, their cookbook Tree of Life presents more than 100 accessible recipes, many of which were taught to the authors by home cooks from across Turkey.
