That intense magic coursing through my veins at night seems to vanish into thin air with the first light of morning. 🌬️ And once again, I am reminded that I am merely human. Yet, everything was so magical in the kitchen at night...
​Tell me, is there really a saying that goes, "Good witches live at night"? Or am I just making that up right now? 🌘✨

The Universe, Alchemy, and Me: Chapter 1 🌌

I started working in my father's restaurant when I was just ten years old. For twenty eight years, I did everything from washing dishes to being a busser. For the first twenty four years, my father never let me into the kitchen, always saying, "You don't understand this." ☄️

In the final four years, I began to find my voice, suggesting changes to the recipes and the production. That was when he told me I knew nothing about the restaurant business and kicked me out for good. 😄 But the Universe had a different plan. Six years later, I have discovered the true magic (Efsun) of life through alchemy and my plant-based potions. 🪄 This series is the story of how a rejected daughter became the Alchemist Chef. ✨🌟

Sometimes a "no" from the past is the Universe’s way of clearing the path for your future. ☄️ After nearly three decades in a traditional kitchen where I was told I didn't "understand," I was finally pushed out to find my own light. Today, I combine my history with the magic of alchemy in my plant-based kitchen, turning simple plants into cosmic experiences. 🪄 Welcome to the first part of my journey: The Universe, Alchemy, and Me. ✨🔮

Magic isn't just about waving a wand; sometimes it requires sheer force and a lot of friction. 🪄 My loyal lab assistant (the mixer) is fighting for its life today! ⚙️ Crafting the dense, authentic base for our plant-based Terra Lahmacun is no easy feat. True alchemy demands effort, but the taste is always worth the struggle. ✨☄️
