After graduating from BA faculty, I found myself cooking (dreaming of a restaurant of my own), for 12 years, I worked as a cook, as a manager and as an owning partner. Now I am cooking, at home, for us and our friends, I have a blog and people can order meals (mostly to serve at their houses) and I am developing this small business now.

When ever I go for a vacation the aim is to eat the best in there, so especially travelling in Turkey we plan our holidays according to those special restaurants locations. I've been to Paris, Dubrovnik, Rhodos, North Cyprus, Santorini, Mykanos, Kos, Rodos, Barcelona, Madrid etc, and my main thing in all these cities were to eat different meals, taste different things and walk in all the streets I can :) Whenever I travel I like the locals guide so I do the same thing here, when I see someone troubled I try to help, especially in restaurants :)

Long story in short, I love to eat, to cook , to travel and the most important thing is sharing them. 
I live to eat not eat to live :)
