Overview

With the help of a local mom from the Southeast Turkey, you will be able to learn home style, local Turkish-Kurdish cuisine. In addition to variety of dishes you will learn, you will also get to experience Turkish local home life at a family house and enjoy the meal with the family. You will also learn about the culture and traditions from the family member as you will feel like a part of the family as soon as you come in.

Turkish Cuisine has a huge variety of great dishes. As a long-time chef, our mother has expertise on almost all Turkish dishes by bringing her own special way of cooking. Although Dolma, İçli Köfte, Çiğ Köfte, Börek, Mezes, homemade Kumpir, Mantı are personally my favorites, she cooks all Turkish meals and breakfast dishes better than anyone I ever met at family visits or restaurants so, I won't hesitate to brag about my mother's cooking since she is my favorite chef and actually all our guests' and friends' whoever visited us at home.

Firstly, you will let us know your dietary restrictions. According to that, my mom will prepare a menu for you. If you have specific dishes you wish to learn, my mom will be happy to teach that to you. Then, we will do the necessary preparations and have you over at our family home where you will also be able to meet locals and be guests at our home. Once you come to our home, you will feel like you are learning something from old-time friends.

While you learn how to cook the food, you will also learn a lot of things about the food such as how it is cooked in different parts of Turkey. So, come be our friends, cook and hang out with us.

I spent a wonderful time with Nura and her family. It was such a nice experience I’d recommend to anyone who is interested in meeting local people and learn from their culture.

This was so much fun, and the best thing I did in Istanbul. Nora and her family were so kind and accommodating, and spending time with them was an absolute pleasure! -Caroline, United States
