Our head chef and co partner

Sedat Acma leads the team at

Cook & Co with not only skill but with dedication and passion.

 

Sedat began his culinary career at the age of 11 when his parents noticed his passion for food and enrolled him at Turkey's world famous Mengen Anatolian Cookery Vocational Boarding School. He graduated at age 18

in the year 2000 and started his food career by working at

Istanbuls Fang Fang Chinese Restaurant chain and later as Chef A La Carte at Turkey's 5 star Rixos Hotel followed by his employment at another 5 star hotel Calista Luxury resort as a Junior Sous Chef.

 

Along with his passion for food came his passion for travel and this led him to Australia in 2008. Sedat studied at the Holmes Institute Sydney– Hospitality Commercial Cookery and worked at one of Australia's most prestigious Turkish restaurants Efendy in Balmain, Sydney.

Sedat embarked on his own business adventure with a business partner and opened his Mores Restaurant in Sydney's trendy suburb Glebe in 2010, however he soon realised his passion was for food and not business management so he sold his share and continued working for Efendy and a few other establishments and we are lucky enough

to have him here at Cook & Co now.

 

When developing our menu Sedat has taken into account the cultural flavour found only in Auburn. He has fused together aspects of the meditteraenian, and the Middle East, whilst keeping in mind the demand for trendy, modern food. We hope that you can come and enjoy Sedat’s passion with us here at Cook & Co, and experience for yourself, the patchwork of cultural, traditional, and modern delicacies.
