About Ozlem Warren

Turkish food writer and cooking teacher specialising in home-style Turkish cuisine

Ozlem Warren is a Turkish-born food writer and cooking teacher known for her website and cookbook Ozlem's Turkish Table. Originally from Antakya, she has spent years documenting and teaching the home cooking of Turkey to audiences abroad, drawing on family recipes and regional traditions.

Her cooking centres on classic Turkish home dishes such as mezze, stuffed vegetables, pilafs, and slow-cooked stews, built on olive oil, yogurt, tomatoes, and fresh herbs like parsley, mint, and dill. She favours traditional techniques and regional variations over shortcuts, and often explains the cultural background of a dish alongside the recipe itself.
