Learn to Make Homemade Turkish Baklava in Ankara
Step into a cozy home in Dikmen, Ankara, and experience how real Turkish baklava is made — not the store-bought kind, but the kind families prepare with love and care. This traditional dessert is made from scratch, just like it has been for generations in Turkish kitchens. 💛
You’ll start with tea and homemade snacks, then roll up your sleeves to make every part of the baklava by hand: the syrup, the walnut filling, and the delicate yufka layers. Together, we’ll build the baklava step by step before baking it to golden perfection. 🥄
While it bakes, we’ll prepare a savory börek and a refreshing meze like kısır or lentil balls. Then comes the best part — sitting down to enjoy everything we’ve made over Turkish coffee and warm conversation. ☕✨
👋 Come as a guest, leave as a friend.
This is a hands-on Ankara cooking class with all ingredients provided. You’ll leave with a full belly, new stories, and the recipes to recreate it all at home. 📝
🔸 Please note:
• This baklava contains walnuts and is not suitable for guests with nut allergies.
• The class lasts around 4 hours — because real baklava takes time, and we don’t rush good things. 🕰️

What do our guests say?
We really enjoyed the Baklava experience. We were warmly welcomed by Fatma and we felt immediately at home. We were able to do everything ourselves with her help. At the end, we were treated to some delicious homemade baklava. If you love baking or are interested in learning something new, don't hesitate to book a spot. You will definitely enjoy it. Much love to Fatma and her husband.

An unforgettable experience!
This baklava cooking class was absolutely amazing! The host was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable, sharing not just the recipe but also the cultural background of baklava. We got hands-on experience preparing the dough, layering the pastry, and learning the perfect syrup balance. The best part? Tasting our own fresh, warm baklava at the end with a cup of Turkish tea! Whether you’re a beginner or a passionate home cook, this class is a must-do. Highly recommended!

I’ve eaten a lot of baklava, but making it myself was a whole new experience. I have a new appreciation for how much love goes into every bite.
