Overview

This is more than a tasting or standard cooking class. The experience takes place inside a real working Gulluoglu baklava shop and is rooted in a baklava tradition dating back to 1871. Guests meet experienced baklava masters, watch traditional preparation techniques, take part in selected stages of a real tray, and see how baklava is baked and finished with syrup. The 45-minute format is designed for travelers who want an authentic, hands-on introduction to Turkish culinary craftsmanship without spending several hours in a full cooking class.

What's included

One piece of freshly prepared baklava, with a choice of pistachio or walnut.
Traditional Turkish tea served with freshly prepared baklava at the end of the experience.

What to expect

Step inside a real working baklava shop in Istanbul and discover the craftsmanship behind one of Türkiye’s most iconic desserts.

During this 45-minute experience, your baklava masters will introduce you to the traditional preparation process, from the delicate layers of dough to preparing the tray. You’ll see how authentic baklava is assembled and learn about the techniques passed down through generations.

This is not just a demonstration — guests will be invited to take part by adding pistachios or walnuts to the baklava tray and experience part of the preparation themselves. You’ll also see how the baklava is baked and how syrup is added at the final stage.

We finish the experience by enjoying freshly prepared baklava together with traditional Turkish tea, with time to ask your baklava masters questions and take photos.
