6.Cappadocia traditional cooking with Chef

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 66 reviews · from $35Best value

This hands-on Turkish and Ottoman cooking class is described as a small-group workshop with Chef Kaan and his team, cooking dishes such as manti, eggplant, and stuffed grape leaves before sharing a meal. Expect Turkish music, playful cooking challenges, and a short dance lesson. Important: the details conflict on location, naming both Istanbul and Uçhisar in Cappadocia.

“Awesome experience, very interesting for both experts and only passionates for cooking. Kaan is very careful and makes the workshop a funny experience going beyond just the recipes teaching. Highly recomended!!!”
