Meet Ayla
I’m a professional chef based in the UK. The kitchen is my happy place and cooking is my therapy. To me, food is more than ingredients and nutrition; it is a language of love, a way of expressing compassion.
I decided to start my blog to shift my energy towards creating a platform where I can share my recipes with friends and family, and the world. I hope you find some recipes in this blog that will bring joy to you and your loved ones.
