Tastes of Istanbul in Paris

Obsessed with the Olympics, I try to follow every game live in my comfy chair at home. At a rare moment when I checked Instagram, I saw a post of a young Turkish chef based in Paris, but currently running a restaurant named Songes at St Rémy de Provence, saying that she was about to leave for Paris for two weeks for an exciting project. She did not reveal any further information.

I have to admit I cheated.
