About Us | Yemek-Tarifleri.com
Welcome to Yemek-Tarifleri.com, your ultimate digital destination for culinary inspiration, kitchen wisdom, and the universal joy of sharing a meal. Whether you are a seasoned chef with a collection of heirloom cast iron or a beginner who just bought your first set of measuring spoons, our mission is to make the art of cooking accessible, enjoyable, and—most importantly—delicious.
Our Story
Every great recipe starts with a single ingredient. For us, that ingredient was a passion for the rich, diverse flavors of the Mediterranean and beyond. Founded in 2021, Yemek-Tarifleri.com began as a small personal blog dedicated to documenting the complex spices of Turkish home cooking.
What started as a hobby quickly blossomed into a vibrant community. We realized that people weren’t just looking for instructions; they were looking for stories, for cultural connections, and for the confidence to try something new. Today, we have grown into a comprehensive platform featuring thousands of recipes, from 15-minute weeknight dinners to intricate, slow-cooked traditional feasts.
What We Believe
At the heart of our kitchen are three core values:
- Authenticity with a Twist: We honor traditional techniques while embracing modern shortcuts that fit into your busy lifestyle.
- Quality Over Everything: Every recipe featured on our site has been tested in a real kitchen (often resulting in very full and happy team members) to ensure it works for you the first time.
- Inclusivity: We believe that food is the global language. Our database includes vegan, gluten-free, keto, and budget-friendly options, ensuring there is a seat for everyone at our table.
Meet the Team
Our team is a diverse blend of professional chefs, home cooks, food photographers, and nutrition enthusiasts. We don’t just write about food; we live it. We are the people who spend our weekends exploring local farmers’ markets and our evenings debating the merits of different types of olive oil.

- Mark Sullivan (Lead Photographer): The eye behind the lens, dedicated to making every dish look as good as it tastes.
