For those looking for a gluten-free cooking class in Kaş, one of the most beautiful ways to discover Turkish cuisine is to step into the kitchen and prepare the dishes together.
A few days ago, I welcomed a lovely family from the Netherlands to my private cooking class experience in Kaş. The family had two teenage girls and an 8-year-old son. Together, we prepared a completely gluten-free menu and discovered the traditional flavours of Turkish cuisine.
A Gluten-Free Turkish Cuisine Experience
For this cooking class, we created a special menu that both preserves traditional Turkish dishes and is enjoyable to prepare together.
First, we made lentil börek with rice pastry. By making the traditional börek gluten-free, we prepared a different and lighter interpretation with rice pastry.
Then we prepared stuffed dried eggplant and peppers, one of the most beloved classics of Turkish cuisine. We prepared the filling together, stuffed the vegetables and talked about traditional cooking methods.
Then Everyone Prepared Their Own Salad
One of the most enjoyable parts of the cooking class was everyone preparing their own salad.
We laid out fresh vegetables, herbs and different ingredients. Everyone created their own salad by choosing ingredients according to their own taste.
Especially having their 8-year-old son involved in the process turned cooking from just a lesson into an experience the whole family enjoyed together.
A Finale with a Gluten-Free Dessert
Of course, a good dining experience is not complete without dessert at the end!
At the end of the day, we made tiramisu balls from gluten-free biscuits. These little treats, which are quite fun to make, became one of everyone's favourites at the end of the day.
Not Just Cooking, but an Experience
For me, a private Kaş cooking class is much more than teaching a few recipes.
Stepping into the kitchen together, getting to know local ingredients, sharing the stories of Turkish cuisine and finally sitting together around the dishes we prepared all together…
Working with guests who come to Kaş and Kalkan from different parts of the world especially gives me the opportunity to get to know different cultures through food.
If you are staying in a villa in Kaş or Kalkan, I can prepare a Turkish cuisine cooking class experience just for you and your group. The menu can be personalized for gluten-free diets, vegetarian diets or other special preferences.
