Hello! My name is Ilgin. I have had a love for cooking for as long as I can remember. I was born and raised in Turkey, in a very traditional Mediterranean household, which revolved around wholesome, natural, home-cooked food. My culinary passion led me to explore the world of sourdough baking so in January 2019 I set up 'Just Sourdough by Ilgin' in order to share my passion and enthusiasm and spread the sourdough love. In June 2021, I received the Bronze Award in the Enriched Sourdough category of the Scottish Bread Championships at the Royal Highland Show. I am delighted and honoured to have been appointed as a Real Bread Campaign Ambassador in July 2021. I am also very honoured to have been asked to be a judge at the World Bread Awards 2022. Come and join me at one of my bread making workshops in my home kitchen and start your own sourdough journey!
