Turkish Delight Workshop: History, Tasting & Making Experience

I was so excited for this workshop! It was hard to find the meeting spot, if it weren’t for a server from the restaurant downstairs. Our instructor was super nice and the entire experience was great. HOWEVER! We went through all the work to make the turkish delights and she even asked what we wanted or didn’t want and ended up not taking the candy! We got a bag with a little box with a completely different type of delights than what we prepared and a lot smaller than what made too. We did not get to keep them

Fun experience to take some downtime from sightseeing. The person who led the event was really kind and made the experience memorable.

Jahan was brilliant! She was very clear with instructions and gave us a history of Turkish delight! She made great coffee and showed us how to eat and drink the Turkish way!!! We even got a free coffee drains fortune reading 🤣

Beyza was a wonderful teacher. We loved the whole experience and would do it again. Such fun had learning the history of Turkish Delight and getting to make some.

Wonderful class that not only teaches you how to make Lokum or Turkish Delight. Its an immersion of history, culture and culinary art. Beyza was my teacher and she is phenomenal at what she does. She is highly knowledgeable & professional. She is extremely kind and patient. It was a pleasure learning from her. This is definitely a must try experience while you are in Istanbul.

The class was amazing, we enjoyed everything, we cocked best turksih delight i ever eat. The class was organized, professional . The instructor Ms lina was very keen to make us learn, we got also turkish turkish deligh and coffee cups as gift 😍

Really good experience with Lina :) She was very kind and helpful !

An absolutely wonderful experience, the most authentic I've had in Turkey. I am a american woman traveling with my mother and daughter, and while other tours guides can be hard to understand or condescending, our time with our tour guide Lina was wonderful. Lina had phenomenal English and was easy to understand, and understood what my family was saying immediately, even if we started talking fast or using american slang. We learned about the history of Turkish delight and how to make it on our tour, but I feel confident any other tour with this company would be just as wonderful as ours due to the staff. We got to have our first honest conversation with a woman in Turkey and hear what daily life in Istanbul is really like. For a affordable, delightful, and authentic experience, I would sign up.

Amazing experience, absolutely worth the money, you learn to make Turkish delights while drinking Turkish tea or coffee and enjoying the different kinds of Turkish sweets. Absolutely a must in Istanbul.

My husband and I loved this class! We always like to do cooking classes when we travel and we are very excited to make Turkish delights at home. It’s also nice because it was with a small group, it was hands on, and it lasted about an hour.
