Highlights
This is not just a cooking class—it’s a journey into the flavors, history, and daily life of Istanbul.
Our experience begins in the colorful markets of Kurtuluş, a lively district with century-old specialty shops. We’ll visit spice store, charcuterie, and bakery, tasting and learning about the ingredients that give Turkish cuisine its rich and diverse flavors.
Then at home, we’ll cook together just like family, using the fresh ingredients we’ve gathered. But this is more than following a recipe—it’s about sharing stories, learning traditions, and experiencing true Turkish home hospitality. We’ll talk about the origins of each dish, how cooking changes across different regions of Turkey, and the special meaning food holds in our culture.
By the time we sit at the table, it won’t feel like a class at all—it will feel like a meal shared with old friends. And when you leave, you won’t just take recipes with you—you’ll take memories, friendships, and a piece of Istanbul in your heart.
Itinerary
Dericiler Sokak
Come spend a day in my kitchen, just like an old friend visiting for a home-cooked meal. We’ll begin in the colorful markets of Kurtuluş, a central, historic neighborhood filled with vibrant spice shops, fresh produce stalls, family-run charcuteries, and local bakeries. As we stroll through the lively streets, I’ll introduce you to the flavors and ingredients that make Turkish food so special. Back at my home, we’ll roll up our sleeves and start cooking together, just as we do with family. Whether we’re making kuru fasülye, dolma, börek, or mezes, I’ll show you the little tricks and stories behind each dish—things you won’t find in a cookbook. We’ll talk, chop, stir, and laugh as the kitchen fills with delicious aromas. Once the food is ready, we’ll gather around the table to enjoy everything we’ve made, sharing stories and conversation over a home-cooked feast. When it’s time to say goodbye, I hope you’ll leave not just with new recipes but with a full heart, wonderful memories, and maybe even the feeling that you’ve found a home away from home in Istanbul.
