The 10 Best Cooking Classes in Istanbul, Turkey

September 30, 2021 Cedrick Jardin

The mosques, bazaars, and Turkish baths of Istanbul could keep you happily occupied for your entire trip: an eyeful of breathtaking architecture here, a good-natured haggle over a carpet there. Kick your trip off at the awe-inspiring Sultan Ahmet Camii (Blue Mosque), which is visible from many points of the city. Stroll the Galata Bridge and stop by the Miniaturk Park to see its tiny artifacts. The Grand Bazaar has thousands of shops to browse, while the Egyptian Bazaar is a fragrant trove of spices and fruits.

You cook five authentic Turkish dishes together with other travellers, under supervision of Rocco and his Turkish chef. Our classes are hands-on and fun, as well as informative. They are suitable for both professional chefs and kitchen novices. Afterwards, enjoy your cooking efforts over lunch or dinner with some local wine. We also function as a regular lunch and dinner restaurant, offering a daily-changing four-course menu. Reservations are recommended due to limited space.

Couldn’t recommend Aysin’s class more! Firstly we walk around the neighbourhood which gives you a real insight into the traditions and typical daily life, and then in Aysin’s lovely home we learnt about Turkish cuisine & cooking techniques! Aysin & her sister are so warm and welcoming and we had a lot of laughs! Thanks again :)
