Step into Ayla’s kitchen in the heart of Cappadocia; a home filled with the scent of simmering dishes and the kind of welcome that makes you feel like you’ve arrived at a distant aunt’s house.

You’ll be greeted with tea or Turkish coffee and settle in while Ayla introduces the dish of the day; it could be stuffed grape leaves, a hearty stew, or a village-style börek; all rooted in local tradition. She’ll explain where the ingredients come from, how her mother made it, and when it’s typically served in the region.

Guests are invited to take part in the cooking; chopping, stirring, or learning to fold pastry just right. But if you’d rather relax and watch, that’s just as welcome. Once the meal is ready, everyone gathers at the table to enjoy the food together, served with plenty of stories, laughter, and second helpings.

PS: Please inform us about your allergies before the class, so we can prepare accordingly.
Come as guest, leave as a friend 🧡
