Leyla Esra Kaya

Traditional recipes and barbecue cook

  • 🇹🇷 Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye
  • Little Istanbul Canteen
  • 1991 to 2013
  • English
I run Little Istanbul Canteen in Istanbul. We started in 1991 with four tables and one very patient dishwasher. My recipes mostly come from my grandmother. I bake for the whole street at New Year. I never expected anything in return, but a kind word always makes my day.
What gifts mean to Leyla: A gift would go toward ingredients for community meals.
