I cook to bring peace, joy, and memorable flavors to your table.

My name is Meryem Kasar. I’m Turkish and a graduate of Culinary Arts and Management, and I’ve been passionate about cooking since childhood. I’ve spent most of my life in the kitchen, refining my craft and building a deep respect for technique, taste, and consistency.

Through my work, I’ve traveled and experienced different cultures, and those experiences continue to shape my cooking every day. I truly love what I do, and I keep learning—exploring new techniques and discovering new flavors—because gastronomy always has room to grow.

Cooking is peace for me, because when I cook, all my thoughts disappear and I’m focused entirely on the present.

What you can expect when you dine with me

I cook with presence and calm

Cooking is peace for me—when I’m in the kitchen, I’m fully present, focused, and attentive to every detail so each plate feels intentional.

I learned from family and built it into a profession

I feel very lucky that I learned to cook from my grandmother when I was young, and I’m truly grateful to her. That foundation became my path, and I’ve continued to grow through training and daily practice.

I trust my palate and aim for balance

My secret in the kitchen is my natural talent for flavor, along with a strong understanding of taste and balance—so every dish feels harmonious, not overwhelming.

I offer curated multi-course menus inspired by the cuisines I love and the cultures that shaped me. I focus on clear flavors, balanced plates, and a complete dining experience from the first bite to dessert.

Meryem did an excellent job for our New Year's party in Bangkok, accompanied by 2 staff to serve our 20 guests. She delivered an exceptional menu combining Italian greats like mozarella with cherry tomatoes, octopus salad and some made hummus got our guests underway. We moved on to chicken wraps, which were a highlight for our younger guests, then, just before midnight, some kebabs appeared, then dessert consisted of panna cotta and tiramisu. We had a great evening, but the best was waking up to a spotless apartment and kitchen on the a groggy New Year's morning. Meryem is highly recommended and a great communicator too
