Private Turkish Cuisine Cooking Class with Local Moms

3 hours

Easy


 

Experience Turkish family life through learning Turkish cuisine at a local home. Be a part of a warm family for a day!

This experience is all about warmth, connection, and home-cooked goodness. You won’t be in a fancy kitchen or a cooking school—you’ll be in a real Turkish home, where a local mom from Southeast Turkey will welcome you like family. Together, you’ll cook home-style Turkish-Kurdish dishes, the kind that have been passed down through generations and made with love.

But this isn’t just about food—it’s about sharing stories, laughter, and traditions. As you roll dolma or prepare fresh mezes, you’ll hear about the little secrets that make each dish special and how food brings people together in Turkey. More than a class, it’s a chance to experience true Turkish home hospitality—sitting around the table, enjoying a homemade feast, and feeling like you truly belong. From the moment you walk in, you won’t feel like a guest—you’ll feel like an old friend.

    • 1- Please notify any dietary restrictions after booking. 2- Other options to arrive at the location: If you are coming from the old town (Sultanahmet, Hagiasophia, Grandbazaar, Eminönü); I would suggest to take the tram to Kabataş. From Kabataş, you can either take a taxi or bus, or even walk for 25 minutes. This would be a nice walk. Once you are at Selamlık Street, look for number 21, Evim Apt. It is a bit above the car park, the gate of the building is right across Abbasaga Mosque. You can ring the bell on the left side, number 6. After that, you will walk up one floor.
