English, Turkish

If you're searching for a truly authentic experience in Istanbul, come join us, two sisters, in our home for a Turkish cooking class filled with flavor, culture, and connection. 💌

We’ll start the experience the Turkish way—with a warm cup of Turkish tea or coffee, taking a moment to chat and get to know each other. Then, we'll dive into the art of Turkish cuisine, preparing dishes like:
🫑 Dolma, Peppers stuffed with meat, rice, vegetables and spices,
🥕 Havuç Tarator, Carrot cooked and mixed with yoghurt and garlic
🫔 Turkish Pastry (Börek), Crispy, golden Turkish pastries filled with feta cheese and herbs.
🍬 İrmik Tatlısı, A comforting, lightly sweet semolina dessert.

We’ll guide you through every step, sharing the secrets of Turkish home cooking while we laugh and create something special together. You won’t just be learning recipes—you’ll be immersing yourself in Turkish culture, experiencing the warmth of local food in Istanbul firsthand.

Once our dishes are ready, we’ll gather around the table to enjoy a homemade Turkish feast, exchanging stories and making memories over a shared meal. Whether you’re a vegetarian, a foodie, or just looking for unique things to do in Istanbul, this experience is for you. And if you’re vegan, no worries—just let us know in advance! 💌

Oh, and one more thing—our home is shared with a friendly cat who love meeting new people! If you have any concerns about pets, feel free to reach out.

Come as a guest, leave as a friend (and maybe with a new furry friend, too!). 🧡
