About Tour Guide Deniz K.
Hello travelling foodies, Deniz here!
My passion for cooking brought me to Paris almost 20 years ago, where I trained as a chef at Le Cordon Bleu. After working in top kitchens and pastry labs for many years, I have discovered the food nerd in me alongside a new passion for food research which led me to pursue a master’s degree in food studies.
These experiences have given me a deep understanding of cultural, geographic and historical forces that shape recipes, food traditions and cuisines which I love sharing with others on my tours.
I lead gastronomic adventures through bustling markets, specialty food stores, historic wine cellars, iconic Parisian institutions as well as hidden gems off the beaten path. I believe that tasting authentic flavors and learning about the stories behind them is the best way to appreciate the rich diversity of any culture. It will be an immense joy to share my knowledge and passion for food and wine with you through your Parisian food journey.

Drawing from my experience working in museum education, my routes are based in the rich history of the area and are easily adaptable for families with children of all ages.

“I got a lot of my passion to study and to share knowledge from both my parents who are professors. And when I say to share, I really mean a communication to connect, to exchange, where I not only pass information, but also listen and learn. It’s very important for me to create a comfortable atmosphere for everyone. To learn should be a moment of expansion, growth and therefore happiness and pleasure. That is no such thing as “silly questions”, the most important thing is to be curious, to stay sincere with yourself about the unknown, so we can together find the answers. There is no better feeling that knowing that you helped someone initiate or develop him/herself to the art world with your “push”. I fell in love with Art History many years ago, even before my graduation, for me, it’s the nicest way to understand human society. We study the past, so we can live better in the present and construct together a finer future.”
