I craft Turkish–Mediterranean cuisine with a modern, global touch

I specialize in private dining, drawing from Turkish and Mediterranean roots while embracing techniques and flavors from around the world. My culinary journey began with formal training at a prestigious culinary school, where I refined my skills and led the school’s restaurant, mentoring students and ensuring smooth kitchen operations. Over the years I have grown from line cook to sous chef, executive chef, and private chef, delivering high-quality, personalized meals. I have cooked for families across New York City, provided bespoke catering, and most recently collaborated with Michelin-starred Chef Ronny Embark in NYC.

Now based in Los Angeles, I continue to design memorable dining experiences for discerning clients, focusing on fresh, seasonal ingredients and polished presentation. I also teach cooking classes for children and adults, sharing techniques that empower home cooks. Whether you’re seeking an intimate dinner, elegant catering, or an interactive class, I bring creativity, professionalism, and genuine hospitality to your table.

What I bring to your table

Cooking as my way of life

Cooking is a lifestyle and meditation for me. I love sharing my talent and food to positively impact people’s lives and create moments that bring people together.

A journey of constant learning

Cooking is a journey, like art, and I grow through experimenting. I believe food should never be wasted and can always be thoughtfully repurposed.

Fresh, simple, and ingredient‑first

I avoid overly processed, unnatural, and overly complex dishes. I focus on fresh, organic, high‑quality ingredients and let clean flavors shine.
