Chef Eda
Chef Eda grew up in Bodrum, the pearl of the Aegean and Mediterranean seas, where her childhood was steeped in the scents of olive trees, fresh herbs, and a garden bursting with seasonal vegetables. From an early age, she was captivated by how natural ingredients could bring warmth, connection, and joy to the table. With a scientific background, she brings a thoughtful, inquisitive lens to the culinary arts—blending tradition with precision and creativity.

Her professional journey began with the founding of Olivyu, her boutique olive oil brand, inspired by her passion for Mediterranean flavors. Her work took her deep into the heart of the Greek Peloponnese, where she documented olive harvests and learned firsthand the cultural significance of this ancient ingredient. Showcasing her brand at a leading food fair in New York remains one of her proudest early milestones.

Eda later refined her culinary skills at the prestigious Ashburton Chefs Academy, where she trained in Culinary Arts and Yacht Chef techniques with a French culinary focus. Additional workshops in fine dining and galley management at sea deepened her expertise. She is passionate about Mediterranean, French, Italian, and Spanish cuisines, always designing dishes that reflect her guests’ preferences and elevate each moment aboard with vibrant presentation and bold, elegant flavors.

To Eda, being a yacht chef is more than cooking—it’s about creating an atmosphere of joy, relaxation, and connection through shared meals. Her philosophy centers on high-quality ingredients, refined technique, and heartfelt service that turns every voyage into a memorable culinary journey.

Just as much a waterwoman as a chef, Eda has spent her life in and around the sea. She began swimming at age four, later pursuing basketball, tennis, and sailing. She even co-founded Sultans of the Sea, an all-women’s sailing team, bringing her passion for the ocean full circle. The sea remains her playground and her greatest inspiration.

Eda lives by her personal motto, a reflection of her culinary and life philosophy:
“Sail fast, made with love, live slow.”
