Aegean Home Cooking with a Local Family in Kuşadası

Join a relaxed, hands-on Aegean cooking experience in Arzu and Zihni's family home in Kuşadası, where the day unfolds over local stories, garden views, and light summer dishes made with seasonal ingredients.

Upon arrival, you'll be welcomed with tea or coffee before heading into the kitchen to cook together. The menu focuses on fresh, simple Aegean flavors — the kind of food this family actually makes at home in summer. Arzu and Zihni guide you through each dish at an easy pace, sharing the stories and techniques behind the recipes as you cook.

When everything is ready, you'll sit down together and eat what you made. If the season allows, Zihni might take you on a short surprise visit to their farm nearby — and you may leave with fresh peaches from the garden.

This is a genuine family experience, not a cooking class. Come hungry, come curious, and come ready to feel at home.
