Shortly after I launched my blog, I was interviewed by Catherine Macallister and featured on Ox In A Box – Oxford’s ‘go-to’ entertainment site, that gives up-to-date information on what’s going on city and county-wide. 

Three years after starting my first blog, I have now decided to share my experience with My Best Air Fryer Recipes in a comprehensive guide in this blog.

Air fryer recipes make cooking dinner so much easier, offering a quicker and healthier alternative. Typically, it takes only half the time to cook almost any dish in the air fryer compared to the oven, and it requires only a fraction of the oil. There is no mess of deep-frying, and the food is crispy, light, and flavorful. From appetizers to main courses, the air fryer allows you to prepare a variety of dishes efficiently.

 Air fryers are a versatile appliance that helps me cook delicious appetizers, and easy meals as well as whip up fun desserts in no time!

In Turkish culture, food is at the center of every gathering: religious holidays, birthdays, celebrations, funerals, and the list goes on. So, probably like many others, I love food. And not just the food itself, but also the process of preparing the food fascinated me from a very young age. My mom was an amazing cook and she dedicated most of her time to cooking delicious food for our family and loved ones. To me, food is more than ingredients and nutrition; it is a language of love, a way of expressing compassion.

Moving To UK

In 2008, I came to London to study Culinary Arts at Le Cordon Bleu. After graduating from school, I started to work as a chef in some of the most prestigious hotels in the world including Mandarin Oriental London and Rosewood London hotels. 

I am the author of the cookbook Easy Turkish & Mediterranean Recipes and a contributor to Wikipedia.

I am currently living in the countryside with my husband in the middle of the woods. Apart from cooking, I enjoy sailing, going for long walks in the forest, and mushroom hunting! I also have a beautiful daughter who is my best friend and the person who encouraged me to create this blog.
