Wonderful Turkish Cooking Experience! - I had an amazing time at this private cooking class! My host was so welcoming and made learning fun and easy. We prepared Eksili Pilav—a delicious dish with tender beef, broken chickpeas, saffron, and a tangy sauce. The flavors were incredible! This dish is traditionally made in eastern Turkey, and it was fascinating to learn about its regional significance. The hands-on experience and cultural insights made it truly special. To finish, I enjoyed homemade helva and perfectly brewed Turkish coffee. If you want an authentic taste of Turkey, this class is a must!

Fun experience - I love that they have classes with the locals at their house. The cooking was a great experience seeing how they live but the food wasn’t my speed of food but still a great experience over all.
