Top Turkey Cooking Classes

What a fantastic experience. This is so much more than a workshop. Enjoyed from the first to the last minute. We were picked up in a jeep and driven through the beautiful landscape to harvest our own vegetables. Once in the valley, you feel like you are in a fairy tale. The guide guided us excellently and translated everything. The workshop itself was given by ladies in authentic Turkish clothing. We were lucky to only have 4 people, which made it extra attractive for us. It was a really fun day.

This was a fun experience!!! I wish I could remember our guides name . She was blond with glasses. She explained the history of coffee and Turkey. We grind our own beans and prepared our own coffee in sand. She then explained the fortune telling process and proceeded to read our fortunes. It was really fun ! I highly recommend this workshop. In fact I recommend all their workshops. Right before the coffee workshop , we did the mosaic lamp workshop which was also fun and a beautiful souvenir to take back home. They offer a perfume making class that we didn’t have enough time to do but I’d love to take in the future . Fun fact : they offer the same workshops in Antalya and in addition a Kunefe making class that I cannot recommend enough !! Look into it !!

Ozge was a perfect host for an event like this. She contacted me early. Made sure that I had adequate instructions to reach her home, which is where the class was held. She led us through the cooking of a homemade Turkish lunch. A very enjoyable experience. Learnt several things about cooking Turkish dishes for the future. I would highly recommend this experience

Petek was such a wonderful teacher! She is a local, and knows so much about Istanbul, Turkey, and coffee. I learned so much from her, and she had such a wonderful personality. I would take this class again in a heartbeat. Perfect English, so kind, and very funny. 10/10 all day!

Gulsah was great. She patiently guided us through cooking her multi-course meal. Food was delicious. My favorite was the yoghurt meatbal soup, really yummy. We are grateful that she invited us into her home and we really got a sense of life for a resident living in Istanbul. The walking tour of her neighborhood where she picked up her food daily was really enlightening. I definitely recommend this experience. We visited her house on the cooking tour at the end of May. Perfect time to visit Turkey.

Perfect day! Can’t imagine a better way to spend time in Bodrum. It was definitely a highlight of our trip. The market was very interesting and enjoyed learning some new produce and the stop in the spice shop was a treat! The drive to the winery where the cooking class was held was itself a beautiful way to see some of the area outside of town. The winery and restaurant was stunning. We had a beautiful shaded area outside where the restaurant’s chef gave us a very personal lesson while we helped prepare several fresh vegetable dishes and a phyllo dish with meat and one with cheese. She offered so much information about the ingredients and the culture as she explained and showed us how she prepares the meal. After it was finished cooking, we all happily enjoyed the beautiful and delicious dishes as a full meal including different wines from their collection. It was incredible! This is a one of a kind location and opportunity to spend time with a very talented and knowledgeable chef on local foods and cuisine who really gives you an insight into the culture of the area.

Even though there was only one person on the day, he taught me very carefully. It was also a very interesting experience to learn about the meaning of each pattern and what kind of structure the carpet is made of. It was difficult at first, but I got used to it and was able to complete it, and I had a very fulfilling time.

Very positive experience indeed. Everything has been taken care of in every detail, with great professionalism and attention. The organization was impeccable and the final result exceeded expectations. Friendly staff, helpful and always ready to meet every request.
