Looking for an authentic experience in Bodrum beyond the beaches and tourist crowds? Step into a local home and discover the true flavors of Turkey through a hands-on cooking class, cultural exchange, and unforgettable meal shared with locals.
Hosted by Can & Gaye, a passionate couple with deep roots in Turkish cuisine, this Bodrum cooking class invites you to prepare traditional dishes from across Turkey — right in the heart of a local kitchen.


☀️ Morning Turkish Breakfast Class
Start your day with Turkish tea or coffee and homemade snacks as we get to know each other. Then we’ll cook beloved breakfast staples together, using seasonal ingredients and cherished family recipes. Expect fresh vegetables, cheeses, breads, and warm dishes that are essential to a traditional Turkish breakfast.

🌙 Evening Dinner Class with Alcoholic Menu
In the evening, enjoy a welcome cocktail and a colorful spread of meze — small dishes that are the soul of Turkish hospitality. You’ll then dive into preparing hearty main courses such as grilled dishes, rice pilaf, eggplant-based specialties, and more.
Dinner will be paired with local wines or rakı — just like a true Bodrum feast.

Once the meal is ready, we’ll gather around the table for a true Turkish feast. While we say, "we cook for 2 hours and eat in 10 minutes," you're welcome to savor each bite slowly. It’s all about good food, meaningful conversation, and genuine connection.

After the meal, we’ll wind down with more tea, local desserts, and shared stories. Whether you're a foodie, a cultural traveler, or someone seeking local connection, this experience is a chance to connect through food, culture, and friendship.

Come as a guest, leave as a friend—with full hearts and full stomachs! 🍽️✨

✨ Let’s cook, eat, laugh, and toast together in Bodrum.
