Turkish, living in Üsküdar, trained by my grandma to cook.
Cooking is my meditation and if I have no one to serve, my meditation is not complete! Make sure my food includes a lot of motivation and effort to be better each time.
You feel good at my place because in Üsküdar every street has at least one centuries old building. Next to my home, there is a 400+ years old mosque and right across my window is a 400+ hamam. So, I would like to have a neighbourhood tour with my guests before or after meal.
I have studied and worked both in Istanbul and Tokyo. After working in technology start ups for years, I have promoted to being a full time cook! I love to talk about food (obviously), literature(hard core one!), economics and statistics(numbers never lie).
I love to travel, love to share what I've seen. And I love to hear your traveling stories too!

We had the most amazing time at Asude's, talking about Turkey's food history, influences and dishes. It was our most memorable night in Istanbul. If you are looking not just to have an amazing meal, but also to spend time with a local to understand Turkey much more, you have found the right person to do so with.
Asude's passion for culinary doesn't just stop at her cooking, she has a whole library of books to back up her findings! Ask her about what the Ottomans had on their menu when they had guests over in the 19th Century ;)
Asude, we hope to meet you and your 2 lovely cats again!

Asude is not only an amazing cook but a perfect host as well. We loved the food and her company. It was definitely our best experience in Istanbul.
