Absolutes muss in Kappadokien

Ich kann diesen Kochkurs nur jedem absolut empfehlen der eine Reise nach Kappadokien macht. Kadir hat mich vom Hotel abgeholt und wir sind zuerst die Zutaten einkaufen gegangen. Es gab so viel dabei zu entdecken und auch schon die ersten Tipps. Danach sind wir zu einer türkischen Hausfrau gefahren und haben in entspannter und herzlicher Atmosphäre zusammen gekocht. Von Anfang an hatte ich das Gefühl willkommen zu sein. Ich habe viel über türkische Traditionen und Geschichte gelernt und natürlich...read more

Terrific experience with an amazing family and great guide! Highly recommend!

The food was amazing the experience was even better! Our guide Kadir was very informative and knowledgable on so many topics so conversation was very easy! Lots of fun making traditional Turkish food, dancing in the kitchen and drinking wine. Overall a terrific opportunity to get closer to the real culture of Cappadocia!

The actual cooking class...

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.

Great introduction to Turkish cooking. Our host was extremely kind and welcoming and we prepared a couple of traditional dishes whilst learning more about modern Turkish life.

Rustic cooking class

Basically learn to cook local food in a local home. She is lovely and welcoming. Does not speak any English, but there is a tour guide/translator who is lovely and available for the whole thing. Highly recommend if you want to see the way cappadocians live and learn about the food.
