Hi, my name is Leyla, born and raised in Germany, with deep roots in Turkey. My parents instilled in me the values of our culture and traditions, especially the importance of food as something far beyond nourishment – it’s a way of life, a passion, and a connection to our heritage.From an early age, cooking and sharing meals together was a cornerstone of my family life. I grew up in a household where my five sisters, my mother, and often friends and neighbors would gather in the kitchen, creating dishes, exchanging stories, and celebrating our traditions. These moments shaped my love for cooking and inspired my journey into the culinary world.With over four years of professional experience as a chef, including catering for weddings and events in Germany and Dubai, I have honed my passion for Turkish cuisine. Now, I live in New York – a city full of energy, creativity, and diversity – where I bring my culinary expertise to life.In my cooking classes, you won’t just learn how to prepare dishes; you’ll discover the stories and traditions behind them. My approach combines the bold, vibrant flavors of Turkish cuisine with touches of German culinary influence, creating a unique fusion that reflects my own journey and heritage. From classic recipes to modern interpretations, my classes are all about celebrating the richness of both cultures.My goal is not just to teach cooking techniques but to honour the deeper meaning of food: it nourishes us, connects us, and is a true expression of love. Together, we’ll explore how to turn simple ingredients into unforgettable dishes, infused with passion and creativity.Let’s cook, laugh, and share stories together. I’m excited to welcome you into my world of flavors and show you the magic of Turkish cuisine, with a twist of German influence.Book your spot today and experience the fusion of Turkish and German culinary traditions with me!
