Overview

I want to show the real local life of Istanbul. Just as two friends, we will cook and eat dolmas, one of the most special dishes in Turkish cuisine.

So, come cook dolma with me at a warm home in Istanbul, not as spectators but as participants in a hands-on experience.
You'll learn cooking techniques and the stories behind dolmas. You will be able to learn our culture through shared moments, gaining insights into traditions. Dolma can be cooked in a lot of ways, including vegans; just let us know about dietary preferences in advance.

So, come as a guest, leave as a friend!

Welcome to my home in the heart of Istanbul, where we'll embark on a delightful journey into the heart of Turkish cuisine. As you step through the door, you're not just a guest; you're a friend, and I'm excited to share the warmth of our hospitality with you.

We'll begin our experience with a genuine touch of Turkish hospitality – a cup of traditional Turkish tea or coffee. We'll take a moment to chat and get to know each other. It's a chance to exchange stories about our cultures, creating a connection that goes beyond the kitchen.

After that, I'll guide you through every step of cooking dolma, sharing the secrets and techniques. We'll immerse ourselves in the true essence of Turkish culinary traditions.

As we are done with the cooking, we'll gather around the table to savor the dolma we've created together. This isn't just a meal; it's a celebration of friendship and cultural exchange. We'll share laughs, stories, and perhaps a few more sips of tea or coffee as we enjoy the fruits of our labor.

My goal is for you to feel like more than just a participant; I want you to leave as a friend, carrying a piece of Istanbul and its traditions with you.

    My experience with Aysu was really special, and it was so lovely to be in a Turkish home and learning about her and the country while make delicious dolma. She helped me find the location too. Her and her partner and his family were all so kind and generous, I would highly recommend.
