A few words about me
Let me introduce myself
My name is Ahmet Ay, and I am a Private Chef.
Born and raised in Istanbul. Ahmet developed his passion for gourmet cooking when he was just a child. Almost for fun, he started to help his mother prepare Turkish quinine in the kitchen. She taught him the basics of traditional, Turkish cooking passing on to him treasured recipes and tricks of the trade that have been handed down in his family from generation to generation. As the years passed, Ahmet’s childhood, culinary interest and curiosity developed into a culinary passion. It is this passion for cooking which Ahmet believes is the secret ingredient which makes his dishes unique.
The young Ahmet decided to move to Milan. In pursuit of his culinary dreams, he even worked as a kitchen porter! However, Ahmet’s culinary expertise ensured that he rapidly climbed the culinary ladder of success. He became a highly recommended chef, working in several well-known Italian restaurants such as Armani Cafè Resturant and many others. During those years, Ahmet’s interest in gastronomy continued to grow and evolve as he realized that cooking is an never ending adventure and exhilarating experience. From the culinary art we can learn how to improve, not just our dishes, but ourselves too.
To perfect his cooking technique, he traveled briefly throughout Europe, passing from Nice to Northern France, and finally moving to London.
Catering and Private Chef.
With over 25 years experience, Chef Ahmet uses a variety of cooking methods which draw on his expertise and experience in Italian and Turkish cuisine.
Chef Ahmet now offers his services to private clients, bringing his signature dish – tasty appetizers, fresh pasta and bread, sophisticated meat and fish dishes and fantastic desserts – from door to door!
One of the many reasons Ahmet Ay stands out in the culinary world is because he is flexible, and adapts easily to different working settings, including flats, private yachts, exclusive restaurants and restaurants consulting.
Ahmet takes great pride in his every creation. He expresses his culinary art by creating an explosion of flavours and colours, using only the freshest ingredients and a variety of spices. He is a truly brilliant and creative chief, and employs the highest standards of hygiene in the practice of his culinary craft.
As a person, you will find him honest, warm, welcoming, gracious and charming.
