Cappadocia · COOKING CLASSES
Testi kebab sealed in a clay pot, dolma rolled at a long table, bread out of a village oven. These 4 classes differ on how much you cook rather than watch, whether the market shop comes first and how many sit down to eat.
Hands-on Ottoman and Turkish cooking near Galata Tower in Istanbul. Make dishes from scratch, then eat a big meal with chef-led fun.
“Great and fun cooking class. They involved everyone, and made it very entertaining at the same time.”
4-hour Cappadocia cooking class in Kings Valley of Kelebek, with pickup, organic market shopping, and lunch you make.
“Enjoyed the hands on experience and the quiet nature of this unvisited valley. Our guide/translator was great as well as the chef with whom we cooked. We’d recommend the experience to anyone looking for an authentic Turkish cooking experience.”
A small-group Cappadocia cooking class with free hotel pickup, Urgup market shopping, and a hands-on lunch or dinner with local hosts.
“The actual cooking class and experience at the home was lovely. We got to try our hand at putting the bread in the tandoor oven, which is novel for us Americans. She got the kids involved and so they were very willing to try the food b/c they had a hand in the preparation. The food tasted great and very much appreciated the stories/explanations. Only issue was the driver to the class got very lost - but other than that hiccup, truly a unique experience and highly recommend if you have the time.”
Cook with a family in Cappadocia, pick herbs from their garden, and make classic dishes in a restored stone arch home, with pickup included.
“This was an axing experience with an amazing family! The entire family made me feel welcomed! Grandma even gave me a Turkish name! The food was delicious and they were able to accommodate my vegetarian preference. I was a little disappointed in travel Skyway not giving the family a proper notice of my reservation but nonetheless they still provided a warm welcome! Definitely recommend this experience! Beautiful family!”
Every kind of day in the valleys, and the best of each.
