Diverse women, diverse styles: Female chefs of Istanbul

"A stylish and unique MICHELIN-Starred spot in Yeniköy, this true chef’s restaurant channels Greek, Armenian, and Turkish flavors while blending the culinary codes of Crete, Istanbul, and Malatya into dishes the chef herself loves to eat. The frequently changing menu always features favorite root vegetables such as beets and celery, presented in new forms each time, and it highlights principles like avoiding imported products and showcasing rarely found, high-quality Karaburun squid. A small, youthful team collaborates closely with the chef, who differentiates the experience through specially designed plates and a waste-free ethos that includes making her own compost." - The MICHELIN Guide
