At home, a mom rarely makes a menu, but rather goes out to the market, shops the freshest ingredients, comes home, and using the knowledge handed down from generations, cooks for her family.
This experience takes place in an authentic residential home in one of Istanbul's classiest neighborhoods. You will learn the secrets of a cuisine from different corners of Turkey but rarely experienced by outsiders. You will savor what you have cooked with boutique Turkish wines for lunch. Recipes vary according to what is available at the market, utilizing only the freshest ingredients and providing you with a deeply individual Turkish experience. Dishes are approachable and easy to replicate in your home country. You can choose vegetarian, gluten-free, or Sephardic dishes! The best part is the conclusion: Tasting your creations! The experience will include tasting of some local delicacies not available at restaurants, giving your experience a “foodie” flair.
The event starts with meeting your cook and continues with a walk through the food market. After a look into local produce and shopping for ingredients, you will start preparing your meal following the instructions of your chef. Class ends after enjoying your meal with matching Turkish wine and a memorable chat with your hostess.
