"I create generous food, thoughtful tables and a sense of ease for gatherings that matter."

I'm Azize Akbudak — the chef behind every table you see here.

Ten years in professional kitchens, two and a half of them at Luciano by Gino D'Acampo. A professional kitchen teaches you things nothing else does: that everything leaves on time, that everything is right, and that none of it comes at the expense of how the food tastes.

It also taught me something I didn't expect. The best food in the world doesn't land if the room is wrong. The table, the light, the way an evening moves — it all changes how a meal actually tastes. That's why we don't stop at the food.

In 2020 I started Boop the Boxes and began cooking for the days people remember, across London: birthdays, baby showers, engagements, office lunches. Odetto London is where that work goes next — the same kitchen, the same hands, and now the table, the styling and the atmosphere from us too.

When you book us, you're not getting a name from an agency. I plan the menu with you, I cook the food, and I set the table myself.

All I really want is for you to enjoy your own party. Everything I do is for that.
