Step into my stylish, air-conditioned Istanbul home and enjoy a hands-on Turkish cooking class with a local host. In this intimate small-group experience, you’ll prepare authentic Turkish dishes from scratch while learning the essentials of Turkish home cooking in a relaxed and welcoming setting. This is not a demonstration—you’ll be actively cooking, tasting, and creating a full homemade meal in a real local home. Whether you’re a beginner or a passionate food lover, this experience is designed to be fun, personal, and immersive. Beyond cooking, it’s about connection. As we cook together, you’ll discover the stories and traditions behind authentic Turkish cuisine and experience genuine Turkish hospitality. Once everything is ready, we’ll sit down and enjoy our meal together, just like a family. My friendly cat and dog may join us, adding to the warm and cozy atmosphere. We’ll finish with Turkish coffee and dessert—and if you’d like, a traditional coffee fortune reading. This is more than just a cooking class in Istanbul—it’s a chance to experience local life, share stories, and create lasting memories Note: Vegetarian and vegan options are available upon request.
