It's late evening in Istanbul. Our Turkish baker, Emre, is measuring ingredients and managing inventory. He'll wake up early to bake his favorite local dessert: Turkish Delights. It's a ritual he knows well. His family has been hand making them for generations; his community, for centuries.
He begins by combining select local ingredients — sugar, water, cornstarch, and natural flavoring. He combines, heats, shapes, and packages each delight. Then, he loads them in his car and rides through the bustling bazaar streets of Istanbul. Soon, they'll be on a plane to San Francisco.
Shortly after that, in your home.
