“Green & Awake” is a chef-driven plant based culinary studio located in southern Sweden, working at the intersection of food, design, and communication with a Nordic approach, offering expertise on food concepts, recipe and product development, catalogues, visual material and exclusive tastings.
“Green” represents the foundation of our work – plant ingredients that come from nature. It reflects where everything begins: with what grows.
“Awake” represents awareness in how we eat, create, and communicate food. It is about intention, presence, and a more conscious approach to our choices, food, and culture.
Together, “Green & Awake” reflects our belief in a more conscious food system where creativity, flavor, and health can coexist.
Sushi Sakura
As spring returns, cherry blossoms bring a sense of renewal, vitality, and vibrancy. Yet their brief bloom is a reminder that life is fleeting—how quickly moments pass, and how easily they slip away. This dish reflects that awareness, inviting us to live more meaningfully, to follow what we love, to contribute to a better future, and to make the most of every moment.
Green & Awake was born from this very philosophy—and from a deep, personal love for the artistry of food. It is fueled by the joy of creation and a desire to contribute meaningfully to a better food system by creating a world where health and craveable exist in a vibrant balance.
MEET THE FOUNDER
I am Nazlı Develi, founder and culinary designer behind Green & Awake.
I work with plant-based food at the intersection of gastronomy, design, and communication.
Through Green & Awake, I develop plant-based food concepts, recipes, visual materials and clean-label products for companies shaping a more conscious food future.
My work bridges culinary development with how food is experienced, expressed, and shared.
My practice is guided by curiosity, research, and continuous exploration. I am deeply interested in the development process itself- how ideas evolve through time, repetition, and care, and how innovation emerges from attention and craft.
