Hulya Erdal

FOOD HAS THE POWER TO MAKE US ALL FEEL AS ONE. IT IS A LANGUAGE THAT EMBRACES EVERYONE, WITH NO JUDGMENT OR HIDDEN AGENDA, EXCEPT TO SURROUND YOU WITH HAPPINESS AND LOVE.

I’m Hulya and have 50 years of eating, cooking and growing up surrounded by colourful ingredients and vibrant flavours from the Mediterranean, Middle East and Africa. Not forgetting the crazy, loud Cypriot family heritage to an East London backdrop! It’s been quite a journey!

I’m a professional chef, teacher, writer, occasional TV and Radio personality and self-confessed lover of French butter!
