Cook with a local mom in Beşiktaş, Istanbul. Small group lessons, hands-on dolma, börek, meze, plus tea and family conversation.
“Our kids loved this! (We did as well) So amazing to be welcomed into a home and learn about life in Istanbul and greater Turkey.”
Small-group Istanbul home-cooked dinner experience. Shop Kurtuluş markets with your host, cook classic dishes, and finish with Turkish coffee and dessert.
“This is a great beginner friendly cooking class for those who are not only interested about cooking Turkish food, but also an insight into the ingredients and Turkish culture. The cooking class is very organized and informative and we made more than enough food to share for a group of 7. Would definitely recommend and would come back again in the future!”
Shop Kurtuluş markets with a local, cook Turkish classics in a cozy home, then eat together with tea, Turkish coffee, and dessert.
“This class was one of the highlights of my time in Istanbul. Gülşah was a joy to learn from. We cooked delicious food, shopped how the locals shop and learnt all about the local culture and cuisine. It was such a fun wholesome evening and I couldn't recommend it more.”
