A hands-on cooking experience in your own villa — we prepare Turkish and Mediterranean dishes together, share the table afterwards, and you leave with recipes and a memory.
Who it's for
Families, couples, groups of friends and villa guests — children and adults alike. It's as much about the afternoon together as the food, so no experience is needed, just curiosity and an appetite.
What's included
A relaxed, hands-on session where you actually cook, followed by sitting down together to enjoy what you made.
- Hands-on preparation of börek, mezze, salads and desserts
- Fresh market ingredients and home recipes
- A shared table at the end of the class
- Recipes to take home with you
How it works
- We agree on a date, group size and preferences.
- I bring everything fresh from the Kaş market.
- We cook together in your villa's kitchen or terrace.
- We plate the dishes and set the table.
- We sit down and share the meal together.
In Kaş & Kalkan
The class happens right where you're staying — a villa kitchen above Kalkan, a terrace with a sea view in Kaş — using the herbs, vegetables and cheeses the local markets are full of.
Dietary options
With a little notice, the class can be fully vegetarian, vegan or Jain-friendly, and we can adapt for allergies and preferences. Just tell me in advance and I'll plan the recipes around your table.
