Hi, I’m so happy to welcome you into my home for a cooking experience centered around one of my favorite comfort dishes; Soğan Kebap.

When you arrive, I’ll greet you with a drink; wine, beer, or something non-alcoholic if you prefer. We’ll take a moment to settle in, and I’ll tell you about this special recipe; where it comes from, how it’s made in different regions, and why it has such a meaningful place in Turkish home cooking. It’s not something you often see in restaurants. It’s the kind of dish we prepare for family.

I’ll guide you step by step as we shape the onions, layer them with seasoned meat, and assemble the kebap carefully before placing it in the oven. I’ll show you the little details that make the difference; the balance of flavors, the patience, the way the onions soften and caramelize as they bake.

While the kebap cooks, we’ll stay in the kitchen together. I’ll prepare a cracked wheat soup and explain how it’s traditionally made and when we usually serve it at home. There’s always space for conversation; about food, culture, family traditions, and your own stories too.

At the end, we’ll sit down together and enjoy the meal we created; slowly, generously, and without rushing. For me, this is the most important part; sharing the table.
