Description
Cook traditional Turkish dishes over an open fire in a village garden in Fethiye. Learn to make kuru fasulye, pilav rice, eggplant kebab, and gözleme in a serene olive grove.
Step into a peaceful olive grove in the mountains of Fethiye for an unforgettable Turkish cooking class. Hosted by the same warm-hearted team behind the Cafer Çavuş soap workshop, this experience takes you into a real village garden where you'll cook traditional dishes over an open wood fire — just like the Yörüks, the nomadic people of this region, have done for generations.
Depending on the season and the group’s curiosity, you might prepare: kuru fasulye (a beloved white bean stew), fluffy pilav rice, flame-roasted eggplant kebab, handmade gözleme, fire-baked village bread, and sautéed wild herbs freshly gathered from the hills. As goats wander nearby and birdsong fills the trees, your meal simmers slowly — with laughter, stories, and smoky aromas all around.
Learn how this way of cooking connects you to the land. Discover how you don’t need fancy tools, just fire, good ingredients, and time.
It’s more than a cooking class — it’s a taste of village life in Türkiye, where every dish holds a memory, and guests become part of the story.
