Growing up in rural America Jale enjoyed creating all sorts culinary delights. After school she began traveling and broadened her cooking repertoire as she cooked alongside locals in Central America, Europe and Asia. Upon her first trip to Gaziantep, Turkey in 2001, she grew to love the warm hospitable culture and amazing cuisine Turks have to offer. Returning to America she started a catering business offering a wide variety of home-town cookin’ and international dishes. Her heart drew her back to Turkey in 2012 where she made her home in Istanbul and began to learn the language and culture with fervor.  She continues to enjoy learning how to prepare Turkish food and desires to make that knowledge available to you through this site so that you can enjoy creating and tasting Turkish cuisine in your own home.
