Cooking From Scratch

Cooking From Scratch

Welcome to the first non-cooking cooking podcast! Join Aliye Aydin as she inspires you to create nourishing, from-scratch meals that heal your body and soul. In each episode, Aliye chats with professional chefs, health coaches, doctors, farmers, nutritionists, and healers to explore their unique perspectives on cooking, culture, healing, and mindfulness. Aliye, born and raised in sunny Southern California, discovered her love for cooking as a healing tool following a scary health diagnosis in her teens. She learned to cook to implement necessary dietary changes, which not only helped her heal but also shaped her life's work. After graduating from UC Berkeley, Aliye traveled extensively, diving into international cuisines and cooking alongside grandmas and aunties, including exploring her heritage in Türkiye. Upon returning to the U.S., she attended culinary school and gained experience in various restaurants and catering kitchens. Aliye worked as a culinary instructor and personal chef, and even ran a farm-to-door organic produce delivery service for 8 years in Long Beach, CA, building relationships with top growers and producers. As a certified facilitator in Spiritual Literacy and Transformative Practices, Aliye incorporates principles like hospitality, gratitude, presence, and listening, and more into her cooking, enhancing the overall experience and fulfillment. Aliye empowers her students to transform everyday ingredients into vibrant meals without spending hours in the kitchen! Explore her latest courses and offerings at www.soulspacechef.com.
