Defne Aylin Koç

Feeding Istanbul for 16 years

  • 🇹🇷 Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye
  • Istanbul Cafe
  • 1999 to 2015
  • English
I've cooked from 1999 to 2015, first at home, then at Istanbul Cafe and later in my own kitchen. Food is how I say thank you. My recipes mostly come from my uncle. I'm always reading two books at once. I'm still learning every day.
