Kuşadası: Aegean Cooking Class with Locals

Country: Turkey
Duration:
03:00 hours
Description
Learn to cook Aegean dishes in a local home in Kuşadası. Prepare regional specialties, enjoy a meal by the pool, and take home recipes to recreate the dishes.
Step into a family kitchen in Kuşadası’s peaceful Karaova neighborhood, where fragrant herbs, simmering pots, and heartfelt stories come together. This home-hosted cooking workshop invites you to discover the lesser-known flavors of Turkey’s Aegean region — dishes that rarely appear on tourist menus but are beloved in local homes.
Depending on the season, learn how to prepare two regional specialties from scratch. Think slow-cooked keşkek, sautéed wild greens with olive oil, yogurt-filled börek, or zesty black-eyed beans. After a warm garden welcome and tea on the balcony overlooking the pool, head to the kitchen to chop, stir, and season side-by-side with your host.
As the food comes together, so do the stories — of traditions, family, and everyday Turkish life. Finally, gather around the poolside table to enjoy your creations, with Turkish coffee and recipes to take home.
Your host says, "Aegean dishes ask for patience and love. I want to share not just recipes, but the stories behind them."
