Why choose this Istanbul tour ?

Experience Turkish hospitality at its finest as you prepare a fresh and creative Turkish meal with an accomplished cook. In Selda’s modern kitchen studio, learn the secrets to cooking wholesome, modern Turkish cuisine using the freshest produce and the occasional surprise ingredient.

Selda remembers her father cooking the freshest of fish and vegetables cooking on a wood stove in the family home. She remember the omelets so beautifully presented that could have been mistaken for works for art. Selda inherited her father’s love of the kitchen and believes cooking is a form of personal expression.

Enjoy a unique cooking class with this artist in the kitchen and learn to cook authentic Turkish food. Your meal might include dishes such as karnıyarık (eggplant stuffed with minced meat served on pillowy bulgur wheat), zeytinyağlı taze fasulye (green beans cooked in olive oil), börek filled with chard (a recipe passed down from her husband’s mother), all accompanied by a garden-fresh salad.
