Born in Ankara, Turkey, Sevtap Yüce started cooking when she was seventeen and learned English while working in a patisserie in Sydney. Sevtap also worked for Bill Granger before a sea change took her to Angourie in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales. Beachwood, Sevtap's first restaurant, opened in 1994. The vibrant cafe is now located in Yamba, where tourists and locals alike delight in her two great passions: cooking and looking after people. Turkish Meze is Sevtap's second cookbook, following on from the success of her first, Turkish Flavours.
