About this activity
Going to a home where locals live is already a unique experience. However, if this comes in a style that is a mutual hobby for both hosts and guests, that makes the experience memorable for both the hosts and guests since they both learn a lot from each other.
Can & Gaye are a couple living in Bodrum and they have cooking as their passion for long years.
This will pretty much be a home cooking class with a great authenticity and cultural exchange.
Come visit us, cook, eat and connect with us.
What you will do
Join Can & Gaye, a couple passionate about Turkish cuisine, as they welcome you into their home for a memorable cooking experience. If you book for the evening, enjoy a welcome cocktail and a colorful spread of meze; small dishes that are the soul of Turkish hospitality. You’ll then dive into preparing hearty main courses such as grilled dishes, rice pilaf, eggplant-based specialties, and more. Dinner will be paired with local wines or rakı; Turkey’s iconic anise-flavored spirit. We’ll share how rakı is traditionally enjoyed, how to drink it properly, and how to appreciate its unique flavor to the fullest. Once the meal is ready, we’ll gather around the table for a true Turkish feast. While we say, "we cook for 2 hours and eat in 10 minutes," you're welcome to savor each bite slowly. It’s all about good food, meaningful conversation, and genuine connection. After the meal, we’ll wind down with more tea, local desserts, and shared stories. Come as a guest, leave as a friend—with full hearts and full stomachs! ️✨ Transport available upon request (for an additional fee). Please contact us for details.
