Introduction
As the Chef and Owner of Bistro Ember in San Francisco, I bring over 15 years of culinary expertise garnered from my experiences in Michelin-starred restaurants and luxury hotels. In addition to leading Bistro Ember, I also offer personalized private chef services tailored to individual preferences and occasions. My culinary journey began with a profound dedication to the art of gastronomy, which led me to pursue formal education in Gastronomy and Culinary Arts at Pamukkale University, followed by the completion of a Master’s degree in Gastronomy at Canakkale University in Turkey. With a solid foundation in both theoretical knowledge and practical skills, I’ve honed my craft to deliver exceptional dining experiences in a variety of settings. In my private chef endeavors, I collaborate closely with clients to curate bespoke menus that reflect their unique tastes, dietary preferences, and culinary aspirations. Whether it’s an intimate dinner party, a celebratory event, or a corporate gathering, I strive to exceed expectations by crafting dishes that not only tantalize the taste buds but also evoke a sense of delight and satisfaction. Drawing inspiration from my extensive culinary background and the diverse flavors of California, I infuse each private dining experience with creativity, innovation, and a deep respect for seasonal ingredients. From sourcing the freshest local produce to executing intricate cooking techniques, I ensure that every dish is a masterpiece worthy of celebration. My dedication to excellence extends beyond the kitchen, as I work tirelessly to create a seamless and memorable dining experience for my clients. Whether it’s orchestrating the perfect menu, coordinating with event planners, or providing impeccable service, I am committed to delivering nothing short of perfection in every aspect of my private chef endeavors. With a passion for culinary exploration and a commitment to culinary excellence, I invite you to embark on a gastronomic journey with me, where every bite tells a story and every meal leaves a lasting impression.

It was a pleasure to have Chef Deniz provide an in-home meal for our company dinner last night. The food was absolutely delicious, each course was served promptly and never interrupted the flow of conversation, and they left the kitchen spotless. Would definitely do this again.

Chef Deniz provided an exceptional six-course meal for our party of eight at our Airbnb, leaving us all thoroughly impressed. Each dish was perfectly portioned and featured unique ingredients that delighted our palates. His professionalism and attention to detail truly set him apart, showcasing remarkable creativity in the kitchen. The cleanup after the meal was immaculate, exceeding our expectations. We highly recommend Chef Deniz for any event and look forward to the opportunity to work with him again in the future!

Wow! What a wonderful experience. Chef Muhammet was wonderful. He was a one man show but impressively accommodated our group of 11. There were a lot of last minute changes/dietary needs we had to request and Chef Deniz was so great and easy going with from a communication/accommodation perspective. The whole place was spotless by the time he left. I would absolutely book again!!!
