We had a great time cooking with ayse, we loved making the traditional dishes and then getting to eat them after. Going to the market was interesting. The whole experience was really informative and hands-on, and fun. Thank you so much ayse

Will DEFO RECOMMEND!

We learned a lot, but mostly had a ton of fun with the chef, learning to cook new foods, and enjoying lunch together! If I ever come back, I am coming here!

A great experience

Ozlem is a wonderful host, witty and knowledgeable. It’s much more than a cookery class. It really did feel like we were part of the family. They were so kind to us! We had so much fun exploring the shops together first, gathering spices and vegetables, and then cooking together. The food we cooked and enjoyed was the best we had! I can’t begin to describe how delicious each and every item was. Can highly recommend!!
