Turkish Cooking Class with a Local Home Chef

Istanbul 4 hours Small group4.9(3,700 reviews)

A Turkish home cook in the Kadıköy neighbourhood invites small groups to cook a proper Turkish spread: meze (hummus, cacık, patlıcan salatası), fresh börek (filo pastry with cheese), and from-scratch baklava with pistachio and honey.
