About

Welcome to Cook With Cem! My name is Cem, and this is my sanctuary dedicated to the culinary arts—a passion that’s been a driving force in my life for as long as I can remember.

My Journey

While I may not don the chef’s hat in the kitchen, my heart has always been deeply rooted in the world of culinary arts. My three-decade-long journey in the restaurant business has allowed me to witness firsthand the passion, dedication, and creativity that goes into creating culinary masterpieces. From the bustling back kitchens to the intimate dining experiences upfront, I’ve seen it all.

This extensive experience has given me a unique vantage point—one that has allowed me to appreciate the art of food beyond just its flavors. I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with skilled chefs, interacting with ardent food lovers, and being a part of countless food stories that resonate deeply with me.

Each restaurant, each chef, and each dish I’ve encountered has added a chapter to my story, deepening my love and respect for this incredible industry. Cook With Cem is my ode to these experiences, and through it, I aim to share the richness and depth of the culinary world as I’ve come to know it.

Why Cook With Cem

I created Cook With Cem to be a hub for all food lovers—whether you’re a seasoned chef, someone just beginning their culinary journey, or simply someone who loves to enjoy good food. I’ve ensured that every recipe, video, and article on this site carries my personal touch, the essence of my culinary journey, and the love I have for this art.

Publishing twice a week, I bring you an array of dishes, techniques, and insights into the world of food. My aim is not just to share a list of ingredients and steps but to narrate a story with every post—to help you understand the soul behind each dish.

Here at Cook With Cem, you’ll find a vast collection of recipes spanning various cuisines, tantalizing cooking videos that bring the recipes to life, and articles that delve deeper into the world of gastronomy. Every piece of content is crafted with care, dedication, and a sprinkle of creativity.
