Traveling is more than seeing old buildings, we all agree on that, right?
We have limited time and a lot to visit, learn and experience.
I believe dinners are the shortcuts to daily culture of a society!
Here is my suggestion: Come to my place, let’s have a dinner together and ask me as many questions as you can while eating my grandmother’s recipes.

Here are some sample dishes I can offer
Starter
Su Böreği  : In other words; princess of Turkish cuisine.
And yes, I make it myself :)
Hummus : Who doesn’t love hummus?
Yoghurt Soup
Main course
Kibbeh (içli Köfte)  : This is a south-anatolian dish with bulghur and roasted minced meat with cinnamon.
Chicken Stew with Vegetables : Served in crocks.
Dolma : Stuffed Vegetables
Garnish
Mercimek Köftesi : Red Lentil Balls  
Garnish
Leek Meze
Dessert
Semolina Pudding : After having a pretty heavy Turkish dinner, you will definitely need that refresher, light and milky pudding.

Extras:

I make minimum 8 dishes and almost all of them have stories. I serve them while telling you about their stories or historical backgrounds.
I live in this magnificent old town Uskudar, and I love to guide my guests through it. Let’s schedule it together before or after meal and have a 2 hour Uskudar tour together.
One of my guests Elodie wrote about her experience on her beautiful blog. Why don’t you take a look? http://www.tukibomp.com/2015/06/istanbul-city-guide-diner-chez-lhabitant-vizeat.html  (And thanks for the great pictures Elodie!)

I am Turkish, living in Üsküdar, trained by my grandma to cook.

Cooking is my meditation and if I have no one to serve, my meditation is not complete! I make sure my food includes a lot of motivation and effort to be better each time. 

You'll feel good at my place because in Üsküdar every street has at least one centuries old building. Next to my home, there is a 400+ year old mosque and right across from my window is a 400+ year old hamam. So, I would like to have a neighborhood tour with my guests before or after meal. 

I have studied and worked both in Istanbul and Tokyo. After working in technology start ups for years, I have promoted to being a full time cook! I love to talk about food (obviously), literature(hard core ones!), and economics and statistics(numbers never lie).
I love to travel, love to share what I've seen. And I love to hear your traveling stories too!
