What do you like most about phyllo?
I like how the shells and sheets turn crispy when they are baked. Also, store-bought dough makes the process very simple.
What gives you inspiration for your phyllo dishes?
As a Turkish woman, we use phyllo in one of our favorite dishes, which is called Borek. It comes in many shapes and sizes, with a variety of fillings, such as meat, cheese, spinach or potatoes.
How do you describe your overall cooking philosophy?
I want to show the basics and classic recipes that everyone can cook at home without very special tools.
