Short Description

Watch, taste, and connect — Turkish food, up close and personal.

Join us in Kirazlı, a peaceful village in the Aegean hills, for an authentic Turkish cooking demonstration led by a local chef at a boutique hotel. This isn’t about standing over a hot stove — it’s about watching flavors come alive, learning the stories behind the dishes, and tasting every detail.

You’ll observe the preparation of 1–2 regional dishes, get the chance to assist if you like, and enjoy a homemade lunch made with seasonal local ingredients.

FAQ

Do I have to cook?
Nope! You can just watch, learn, and taste. But if you’d like to try chopping or stirring, you're welcome to join in.

Is this a full cooking class?
It’s more of a chef-led demo — lighter, more relaxed, just as tasty.
