Chef Dee Karakus

A 39-year-old mother of a lively 9-year-old girl, I hail from Turkey and have called the UK home for the past six years. For the last two years, I have been channeling my passion for food as a school chef, where I delight in crafting new dishes and experimenting with recipes. Beyond the kitchen, I love painting, finding solace and expression through art. Reading is another of my cherished pastimes, fueling my imagination and broadening my horizons. My journey combines a rich cultural heritage with a love for creativity, making every day an opportunity to learn and grow, both personally and professionally.
