Melek's Baklava & more - Melek Onugoren, Toowoomba Qld

I arrived in Australia from Istanbul, Turkiye in 2008 and worked in various professions including teaching English as a second language in schools and also working as a teacher aide. Everything started with one of my friends asking me to make baklava, as she had tasted it when she was in Turkiye and loved it. We were amazed at how delicious it tasted… That was it! That day was my turning point. Since then, I have been baking Baklava and other Turkish Traditional foods including savouries and sweets. I have operated my successful small business since 2017 based in Toowoomba, Queensland. Over the years MELEK’s BAKLAVA & MORE has become a well-known business around the Darling Downs. The products have been in high demand, especially Baklava and Assorted and Rose Turkish Delight. This business is about to expand to include home cooked traditional Turkish meals and TURKISH COOKING CLASSES.
