Description
Come for the meze. Stay for the stories. Step into İrem’s Istanbul home, where the kitchen smells like garlic and olive oil, and where strangers quickly become dinner guests. This isn’t your typical cooking class — it’s a shared ritual of preparing meze, the heart of Turkish hospitality. In this hands-on session, you’ll learn to prepare a colorful spread of classic Turkish mezes, including: Carrot Tarator – light, tangy, and irresistible İmam Bayıldı – a slow-cooked eggplant dish with layers of flavor Haydari – a rich yogurt dip with herbs and garlic Zucchini Tarator – creamy, fresh, and full of summer vibes As we chop, stir, and taste along the way, the kitchen conversation flows just as easily as the food. By the end, we’ll gather around the table for a slow, laughter-filled feast — the way locals do it. This 2+ hour experience isn’t just about recipes. It’s a glimpse into everyday life in Istanbul. You’ll walk away with a full belly, a few cooking tricks, and maybe even some new friends. This isn’t a class. It’s a conversation with food and people.Includes
