Who cooks

I'm Tuna.

Born in Mersin, on Turkey's Mediterranean coast, one of the country's richest food cities. Almost eight years in Istanbul, and Porto has been home for three.
Nasci em Mersin. Vivi quase 8 anos em Istambul e há 3 que o Porto é casa.

By day I work in tech with B2B software companies. My love for cooking goes back to university, and Turco Porto is where it finally gets a table.

İznik × Azulejo

Two tile cities.

Istanbul and Porto share a lot: tiles, bridges, a river, and tables where nobody eats in a hurry.
