Cappadocia Home Cooking Experience – Cook, Taste and Explore Local Life

A hands-on home cooking experience awaits you in Cappadocia, where you'll step into the heart of Turkish hospitality. Bringing together local flavors, fresh ingredients, and the warm traditions of village life, this experience offers a truly authentic atmosphere. You'll begin the day by picking fresh vegetables and herbs from an organic garden with your own hands. On this journey from soil to table, you'll form a strong connection with nature by selecting the raw ingredients for the meal you're about to prepare. Alongside warm and experienced local instructors, you'll prepare each dish entirely by hand, just as it has been done in Anatolian homes for generations. Step by step, you'll learn to cook a traditional menu consisting of soup, a warm appetizer, a main course, and a homemade dessert. While cooking, you'll enjoy the wonderful aromas filling the kitchen accompanied by freshly brewed Turkish tea, an essential part of every table in Turkey. Throughout the experience, you'll gain a deeper understanding of Turkish cuisine and village life. Your hosts elevate this experience beyond an ordinary class with stories, cooking techniques, and cultural insights — turning it into a personal journey into the soul of Anatolian cuisine. At the end of the experience, you'll sit together around the delicious dishes you've prepared, enjoying the sharing, friendship, and flavors of a Turkish table.
