2 Hours

English, Turkish

For a truly authentic experience in Ankara, skip the usual tourist sites and discover Turkish culture through its food! Join Sercan, a devoted home cook, husband, and father, in his warm and welcoming home for a hands-on Turkish cooking class—just like locals do.

Using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, you’ll prepare traditional Turkish dishes, such as:
✔ Lahmacun – A thin, crispy flatbread topped with spiced meat, often called “Turkish pizza.”
✔ Hünkar Beğendi – A rich, slow-cooked lamb dish served over creamy eggplant purée.
✔ Lentil Soup – A comforting classic, enjoyed at Turkish tables for generations.
As you chop, knead, and season, Sercan will share stories of Turkish food traditions, family life, and why slow-cooked meals hold a special place in local kitchens. This is more than just a cooking class—it’s a chance to experience the warmth of Turkish hospitality, learn time-honored recipes, and bond over food, just as Turkish families do.

Once everything is ready, we’ll gather around the table to enjoy our homemade feast, accompanied by traditional Turkish tea or ayran. Whether you're a food lover, a couple looking for a unique date, or a traveler wanting a real local experience, this is the perfect way to immerse yourself in Ankara’s rich culinary culture.

We felt like home. From start to finish, Sercan made us feel very welcome. He was an incredible host, teacher and cook. At the end we sat all together to taste our hard work and leftovers were packed to bring back home. I 100% recommend taking this course.
