Get To Know The Chef 😎😊

First of all, I should say that I am not a culinary art professional.

I didn’t have any formal culinary education yet.

I am a strategic marketing and brand management professional with 16 years of corporate experience.

I was born in Ankara and raised in Istanbul Turkey.

I went to French Schools in Istanbul after the primary school and in college I have been a simultaneous translator in diplomatic mission for the French-Turkish language mix.

Then I have obtained my second degree at Television Broadcasting and started presenting the breaking news on national TV channels.

Finally I went to a business school and obtained my M.B.A. degree with specialization in Strategic Marketing&Brand Management.

With my media and marketing passion, I have worked for banks, holdings and brands as Marketing and Brand Communication Director in several industries.

I am still working in Istanbul in this position as a white collar.

Since my profession is so strict and demanding, I have chosen food&dancing as life savers. 👍

In this blog I am the owner, director, seo expert, graphic designer, content creator, photographer, web master, recipe developer and social media manager 😊😘

How I Learned How To Cook Like A Pro?

When I was little girl, my mother was working as a  finance professional and my dad was a judge.

Since they were working too much, I received all my culinary education from my grand mother.

She was a pro chef believe me!

During all my childhood and adolescence I have watched her cooking in the kitchen for very crowded family and friends events.

She was called in our entourage “the grand master of Turkish cuisine.”

During all those years she has taught me all the tips, trics and secrets of Turkish cuisine.

I was not aware that I was learning all those recipes while we were chatting in the kitchen.

So I have started preparing some surpise dinners for friends&family.

Those events had an unexpected success and everybody said that I was ready to replace my grand mother in culinary art.

Two years ago, she passed away leaving me with her 11 hand-written cook books and lots of memories.

She was my life coach and the most inspiring chef of my life.

During the pandemic and quarantines just like everybody we stopped eating in the restaurants and started cooking regularly at home.

So I have decided to share all the secrets of Turkish cuisine with my grand mother’s top secret recipes for you.

I hope you will enjoy my recipes and discover all the specialties of Turkish food culture with me.

Since there are tooooo many Turkish food recipes, I believe that our journey will be long and entertaining with your contributions to TurkishFoodPro.com.
