Description

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

An awesome experience to live in Istanbul!

We had an absolutely amazing experience during this cooking class with Ozge and Sercan. As soon as we arrived, they welcomed us with great kindness and knew how to put us at ease immediately. Beyond the kitchen, this moment was rich in exciting cultural exchanges, in a friendly and authentic atmosphere. The prepared dishes were simply delicious, and for some we had never discovered them before in Turkey. It was a real moment of sharing, human and greedy, that we are not about to forget. A huge thank you between them for this unforgettable experience!
