Elif Ekin is an Entrepreneur, Chef, and mom. She has her M.A. In European History, and cooks highly addictive Baklava and Middle Eastern pastries for local cafes and special order. Her baklava made its first appearance in the 2004 farmer’s market. Her small stand was a huge hit and was sold regularly at local cafes.

We tried it in our test kitchen and we love it! We would like to include in an upcoming issue of our magazine.”
