Enjoy a Fresh and Seasonal Turkish Meal with Selda

Selda prides herself on her healthy take on traditional Turkish recipes cooked with seasonal ingredients. She also likes trying out non-traditional ingredients like quinoa. She has been experimenting with healthy cooking for several years and is working to open a food studio where she will entertain friends and hold workshops. Don't expect common kebabs and other heavy meat dishes at Selda's - she showcases the real foods that Turks eat on a daily basis, with a healthy twist.

You'll be warmly welcomed into Selda's tastefully decorated apartment in the upscale neighborhood of Ulus. You can't miss the beautiful views of the Bosphorus from the floor to ceiling windows. Your meal might start with a soup (warm in winter or chilled in summer), and then you'll taste dishes like Selda's savory karnıyarık (eggplant stuffed with minced meat and vegetables, on top of pillowy bulgur wheat), zeytinyağlı taze fasulye (green beans cooked in olive oil, a Turkish staple), börek filled with chard (a recipe passed down from her husband's mother), all accompanied by a garden-fresh salad.
