My name is Murat Basaran, and my journey has always been guided by a passion for food and the joy of sharing it with others. I was born and raised in Türkiye, where the rich culinary traditions of my homeland first inspired me to see cooking not just as a skill, but as an art form.

After completing my studies at University College Birmingham, I deepened my knowledge of gastronomy and hospitality management. Later, I had the privilege of teaching gastronomy at Eastern Mediterranean University, where I shared my experience with young chefs eager to discover their own culinary voice. 

 Forty years of experience have taken me through the kitchens of  Turkey, England, Cyprus, and Qatar. Leading the kitchen has been both a challenge and a joy — a place where I can combine the flavors with modern European techniques, creating dishes that surprise, inspire, and bring people together.

                                                                      My philosophy is simple:

• Food should surprise with flavor.

• Food should inspire with its story.

• Food should unite people around the table.

Every dish I prepare is a reflection of my journey — from the bustling streets of Istanbul to the refined kitchens of London. Cooking is not just my profession; it is my way of celebrating life, culture, and connection.

I continue to explore, innovate, and teach, always believing that gastronomy is a living art that evolves with every generation.

This is my story — a chef, a teacher, and above all, a lover of food...
