Selin Yıldız

The city, one meze at a time

Based in Çukurcuma, Istanbul.

Selin trained as a pastry chef in Paris before coming home to write about Istanbul's kitchens, from the Balıkpazarı fishmongers to the ocakbaşı grills of Çukurcuma. She works a neighbourhood market end to end before she will recommend a single café.
