カッパドキア料理教室

I can absolutely recommend this cooking class to anyone who is traveling to Cappadocia. Kadir picked me up from the hotel, and we first went shopping for the ingredients. There was so much to discover, and I even received the first tips. After that, we went to a Turkish housewife's home and cooked together in a relaxed and warm atmosphere. From the very beginning, I felt welcomed. I learned a lot about Turkish traditions and history, and of course about Turkish cuisine as well. It was a great experience, and I will definitely cook the recipes at home too.

The food was amazing the experience was even better! Our guide Kadir was very informative and knowledgable on so many topics so conversation was very easy! Lots of fun making traditional Turkish food, dancing in the kitchen and drinking wine. Overall a terrific opportunity to get closer to the real culture of Cappadocia!

The actual cooking class and experience at the home was lovely. We got to try our hand at putting the bread in the tandoor oven, which is novel for us Americans. She got the kids involved and so they were very willing to try the food b/c they had a hand in the preparation. The food tasted great and very much appreciated the stories/explanations. Only issue was the driver to the class got very lost - but other than that hiccup, truly a unique experience and highly recommend if you have the time.

Great introduction to Turkish cooking. Our host was extremely kind and welcoming and we prepared a couple of traditional dishes whilst learning more about modern Turkish life.

Basically learn to cook local food in a local home. She is lovely and welcoming. Does not speak any English, but there is a tour guide/translator who is lovely and available for the whole thing. Highly recommend if you want to see the way cappadocians live and learn about the food.

This is a must-do experience when in Cappadocia. We were fortunate to have the best guide, Gonul, who was so friendly and knowledgeable. She first took us to the market in Urgup to purchase some produce. We then drove to our host’s home, both she and the home were lovely. Our host was very warm and welcoming. We had a great time making delicious, authentic Turkish food and chatting about a variety of topics. We ate the best eggplant we have ever had in our lives. I know that everyone comes to visit the sites, as did we, but if you have a little extra time this is a peaceful experience where you have the opportunity to connect with others.

If u want to know the culture of Turkey make friends with people. What can be a better way to do it than cooking and sharing a meal. Serife welcomed me warmly to her home along with her daughter. We cut vegetables together in her kitchen and had great conversations with Kadir being an excellent translator and sous chef. He explained each step of the cooking. Kadir also has a secret talent that he shares if u are in the class. At the end of all the peeling, cutting and cooking, I knew a lot more about Turkish culture, cuisine and also where locals shop.We made yogurt Soup, Karni Yarik (eggplant kebab with vegetable toppings), Turkish Rice and Bulamac (slurry) dessert and turkish coffeecoffee with fresh and some home made ingredients. Ofcourse we ate it too after all the cooking. I am glad I had this experience which is not the usual touristy experience yet an enriching one.

During my trip to Cappadocia I had the chance to attend a cooking class in Turkish/Cappadocian cuisine. It was a great experience. Our cook Vijdan, a friendly and lovely older lady, introduced us to the dishes. I was able to help prepare the dishes. They were not particularly difficult for an amateur like me to prepare. I was given the recipes and will try to make them myself at home. Erkan gave us a lot of support as a translator and driver. Thank you very much for your hard work and commitment.

Favorite part of our trip! We got to try so many different things and had a great time talking to our host.

An absolutely beautiful day spent with the loveliest people. Such a nice time and the people we met were so nice and the food was incredible
