We offer traditional Turkish Cooking Classes for our guests in Cappadocia. Learn hands-on how to make a basic meal including soup, appetizer, entrée, dessert and Turkish coffee. This is a half-day activity and you will be able to enjoy your efforts at lunch or dinner – the meal you have just prepared.

The half-day Turkish Cooking Class starts in the morning or noon with pick-up from your hotel. We make our way to a small village where the matron of the family will teach us to prepare the entire meal. Today you will have a chance to meet with the riches of Turkish Traditional Cuisine.
