Weddings, Birthday parties, Cocktails, Brunches and Bachelorette parties are our specialties. Up until 11 years ago I was not a chef. I was not really even a cook; I was an admirer and an eater: my experience never went beyond eating in restaurants and admiring great chefs. Growing up in Turkey I was encouraged to get a degree (and cooking was certainly not considered a valid option) and I ended up being a teacher.
I liked my job and the lifestyle it allowed me to have. However, I kept feeling that I was missing out on my true passion. Then, I moved to US and started thinking about going back to school and it hit me "I can go to Culinary School and become a chef." That is exactly what I did. I cooked, I learned and I fell in love with it. After graduation, I was fortunate enough to work at Nomad Hotel, Ace Hotel and 71 and Above.
I also worked for Wolfgang Puck's catering events and Katie Chin who is a cook book writer and a celebrity chef in Los Angeles. They were all high pressure, fast paced team environments.

Chef Gulen did an incredible job!
The food was absolutely delicious - especially the appetizers and starters (which can often be overlooked).
She was very friendly and kind.
Not only did she cook a lovely meal (in our airbnb that was lacking in terms of appropriate kitchen tools) but she plated it beautifully and she stayed after to clean up.
Don't think about it twice - book her! She's amazing!
You won't regret it.
