I am one of the two charier people. In the past, I was a marketing professional for 10 years. My true passion has always been cooking and upon. I realized that my passion of cooking exceeded my current career in marketing. By hosting dinner parties and cooking for friends and family regularly, I realized that I needed to follow this passion and turn this into my career. Living in Istanbul, Turkey at the time, I decided to take the leap and make a change. I moved to Canada and enrolled in the Culinary Management Program at George Brown College. In the beginning it was a challenge to make the change from high heels to chef shoes, but I survived!
Through this adventure, I have worked in several restaurants in various positions such as El Catrin, Mercatto, 7 Enoteca, Capocaccia, Vertical, Oretta. Most recently, I was managing ‘Anatolia', one of the longest running Turkish Restaurants in Toronto. After my time there I decided to continue on my journey on my own and created LokumEats, where I showcase Turkish/Ottoman cuisine as well as my take on international cuisines. I owe a huge thank you to my mom mom who was an amazing cook and passed on many family recipes that had been in my family for centuries. Both my grandmothers were also superior cooks and we have always for generations but pride in our cooking.
Due to COVID 19 restrictions, we are not able to organize a cooking class right now.
Are you into cooking? Do You like to explore different cuisines? Would you like to be able to deliver new flavours to your family and friends?. Maybe you just want to gather with your friends and have fun. Lokum Eats can organize a cooking class at your home’s convenience. Up to 6 people we are offering cooking lessons in your home. We provide with all the ingredients and essential tools.

Manti, known as Turkish Dumplings, is a popular dish in Turkish cuisine. These tiny, labour intensive beef filled dumplings are mini pockets of hapiness. When manti meets with yogurt, butter and spices, the combination is heavenly.
At Lokum Eats, we want to take the Manti game to another level, therefore, we have created vegetarian and one of a kind sucuk (soujuk), spicy Turkish sausage, manti options.
Our frozen mantis are now available.
ENJOY!

We love to go beyond the classic chef service, using our diverse experience as private chefs to guarantee you a tailor-made event, in the safety of your venue but in connection with the world.
1.
Venue
your home or another place that you would like us to be (i.e. cottage, farm, garden etc. only requirement is those venues should have kitchens).
2.
Number of people
We create our menu based on your guest number, therefore, it is essential.
3.
Menu design
Based on your demand, we create a specific menu for you.
Lokum Eats is offering you a private dining experience where you feel comfortable and special. This could be your own house as well as a venue that would be offered by you based on your desire. We can also help you with a venue if you would have such a request.
We prefer to limit the number of people that we cater to be able to engage with each guest and be able to involve them in a cooking experience if they prefer. Therefore we would prefer guests between min 2 to max 20.
The experience is not just about food, it is also about the culture, history, music and fairytales…

Tuba’s feast was a night to remember. She arrived with mountains of the freshest produce and highest quality meats. Tuba quickly transformed our kitchen into an aromatic paradise. We were led through a complete menu from appetizers to dessert. We “helped” (probably hindered) Tuba while she created dish after dish of taste sensations.
I particularly liked that Tuba gave us a rationale for each step she was taking in the preparation of dishes. Everything Tuba made produced oooos and aahhhs from my friends. We had a blast! There was much hugging at the end of the evening and I can’t wait to do it again for my friends who missed our first Turkish feast.
