Maria Cevik Simeonidou was born in Tatayla, Kostantinoupolis, where she lives until today. She was elected vice-president in the gastronomic club of Turkey and since 2018 she has been giving courses, seminars and workshops on Cuisine in the Culinary Departments of the universities in Istanbul. She was also awarded a diploma/plate by the Archestratos Club.
He has written 6 books in Turkish and one of them, “Once Upon a Time/Bir Varmış Bir Yokmuş” which has been honored as the gastronomic book of the year 2015 by DÜNYA KİTAP Publications.
Maria Cevik Simeonidou unravels the tangle of Politiki Cuisine with her new book “My City, My Taste, My Life”. She tries to fill a gap in the Politiki literature with testimonies of Romanians, who were engaged in Politiki Cuisine as a profession and created branded shops that continue the Politiki cuisine with great success. It refers to the Polite tradition of food and sweets, to old and new Roman restaurateurs and to historical confectioners. The life, dynamism and creativity with which they managed to impose themselves and create history and tradition, admired to this day, not only in Istanbul but also in Greece.
The book refers to the people who created these flavours that we still taste today. It took millennia for the various trends in the eating habits of the inhabitants of Constantinople to develop.
