Overview

A true in-home Turkish experience—you’re welcomed not just as a guest, but as part of the family.

The focus is as much on conversation and connection as on cooking.

You’ll meet my adorable cat and dog, who are always excited to make new friends.

We’ll end the meal the authentic Turkish way—with fresh coffee, dessert, and maybe even a fortune reading.

You’ll walk away not only with new recipes, but with new memories, friendships, and stories.

What to expect

Step into my cozy, air conditioned home in vibrant and safe Besiktas for an intimate small group Turkish cooking class.

This is a hands on experience, not a demonstration. You will actively cook and taste a full traditional Turkish meal from scratch in a relaxed, social and welcoming setting. Whether you are a beginner or a food lover, this experience is designed to be personal, fun and truly memorable.

Meet My Furry Co Hosts: My cozy home is shared with a very friendly cat and dog who love welcoming guests. They may join us and add to the warm, family like atmosphere.

As we cook together, you will discover the traditions behind authentic Turkish cuisine. Once everything is ready, we will sit down together and enjoy the meal you created, just like a family.

We will finish with traditional Turkish coffee, dessert and and—if you’d like—a fun coffee fortune reading.

This is your chance to escape the heat, experience real local life and create lasting memories.

Vegetarian and vegan options are available upon request. Please inform me of any dietary restrictions when booking.
