Spending six years in Vienna for my university, I had only one chance to eat real Turkish home meal. I had to learn to cook it on my own. So my story about cooking began. Later, while chained at a desk from 9 to 5, I developed my cooking abilities through different courses, including Basics of Turkish Cooking (Chef’s Academy – 4 Weeks), Food and Beverage Management (Culinary Arts Academy of Istanbul – 10 Weeks) and Modern Interpretations of Classical Turkish Cuisine (Culinary Arts Academy of Istanbul – 5 Weeks). It wasn’t difficult to combine travelling, another passion of me, with cooking. Wherever I travelled, mainly Asian countries, I attended cooking courses and tried to learn the regional cuisines. Soon I came to the idea that I wanted to share my knowledge of my home cuisine and culture. In the end, what is better than meeting other travellers, sharing stories about the journey, cooking and eating together?
