Everyone knows that Turkish breakfast is one of the most famous and delicious morning traditions in the world. It’s not just a meal it’s a social ritual, a time to gather, and a feast that brings people together. Instead of just tasting it at a restaurant, why not experience it the way locals do? 🍳

We’d love to welcome you into our home to cook, eat, and enjoy a real Turkish breakfast, just like friends and family do in Turkey. Together, we’ll prepare a spread of traditional dishes, including sizzling Menemen (eggs with tomatoes and peppers), Muhlama (a rich, cheesy dish from the Black Sea), and eggs with Sucuk (spiced Turkish sausage). Alongside these, we’ll enjoy fresh cheeses, olives, homemade jams, honey with Kaymak (Turkish clotted cream), and warm, sesame-crusted Simit—all while sharing stories, sipping tea, and soaking in the warmth of Turkish home hospitality. 💌

But this isn’t just about food—it’s about connection. In Turkey, breakfast is an occasion, a time for laughter, conversation, and enjoying the simple pleasure of good company. We want you to experience this tradition firsthand, not just as a visitor, but as a friend. 🍽️

So, come join us for a homemade Turkish breakfast, a meal filled with endless flavors, warm hospitality, and the kind of moments that make travel unforgettable. If you're wondering what are the best things to do in Istanbul, this is an experience that will leave you with a full belly, a happy heart, and a true taste of Turkish culture to take home with you. 🧡

Aysu is a great host. She is a very talented cook and a great instructor. I was so happy to join her and witness the local life at her home with a closer look. The community Aysu is in, LokalBond offers authentic home-hosted experiences. I suggest anyone who travels to Istanbul to join Aysu or try other LokalBond experiences to be a part of real, local life of Istanbul, to be a traveler instead of a tourist 🫶

We had a great time and learned a lot during this class. We are back home and like to cook what we learned in the class.

This was a great way to experience a Turkish breakfast and learn how it is made. It was also a great chance to talk to both people who live locally and others who were visiting (and their cat Petra!). It was a very inviting and delicious experience.
