Authentic Turkish Home Cooking Class with Local Couple Istanbul

About

Forget the crowded bazaars. Step into the "real" Istanbul with a day that feels less like a tour and more like catching up with an old friend. We begin our journey in the rhythmic streets of Kurtuluş, a neighborhood where time slows down and tradition remains king. This isn't just a shopping trip; it's an invitation to the community. We’ll hand-pick the brightest seasonal produce from vendors who have known us for years. From Market to Table In the sanctuary of our home kitchen, the real magic happens. Together, we’ll unlock the "secrets of the aunties"—those unwritten techniques that give Turkish cuisine its soul. You won’t just watch; you’ll touch, taste, and master the art of rolling delicate sarma, making creamy yogurt sauces, or perfecting the golden crunch of handmade börek. We can have Vegetarian & Vegan meals, too In total we will prepare 5 dishes. At the end we’ll feast with glasses of Turkish Tea or Coffee and deep conversations. Join us on this unique experience
