Highlights

Ozlem has Cretan, Turkish and Venetian roots, which has greatly influenced her cooking style. Her passion for food started when she was young, she was always curious and would follow her grandmother around the kitchen with a basket gathering wild greens and herbs. Her grandmother taught her to cook using all her senses – smell, sight, taste, feel. She works as a personal chef, participates in festivals, organizes workshops, is a speaker on panels and seminars, and also writes for newspapers and magazines. Apart from cooking, Ozlem also works as a translator and an interpreter, she has translated 19 books so far!

    This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Join Ozlem for a hands-on cooking class in her home kitchen in Roustika, a charming village in central Rethymno, Crete, with rich Venetian history and stunning architecture. In your two hour Cretan cooking class learn to make artichokes with peas and meat or fish or stuffed vegetables or Cretan chicken pie and a wild green salad. Or you can learn to make handmade pitas with a filling of your choice (greens or Cretan cheese or meat). Please let Ozlem know your preference in advance. She will also share stories behind food that you're cooking and tip and tricks that she learned from her grandmother. After cooking, sit down together to share the meal you helped prepare.
