Sinem Özler sets great store by goods from local producers. You can taste and see this for yourself, because they are also for sale in the shop of this spacious, modern restaurant, just outside the city centre. For example, she works with Trakya Kivircik lamb in a bid to keep traditional recipes alive. The İçli Köfte with the same lamb is an absolute must. To bring those ancient Anatolian flavours to the table, this chef likes to use a wood-fired oven, and she never loses sight of the changing seasons and her surroundings.

Diverse women, diverse styles: Female chefs of Istanbul
Despite the fact that cooking has been seen primarily as a female duty for centuries, it is an unfortunate irony that cuisine, and especially refined cuisine continues to be considered a male exclusive profession. Female chefs still have to exert harder work compared to their male counterparts in order to achieve a similar level of success and regard. However, as is the case in the rest of the world, plenty of female chefs in Istanbul have proven themselves and achieved the recognition they deserve. And they all reflect their own personalities and signature styles in their cuisines.
