This was an unforgettable experience! Hami was a great communicator and guide—we loved shopping together at local markets and getting a taste of daily Turkish life. Meeting his family was such a treat, and we felt truly welcomed. The meal we prepared was delicious, and dining together while learning more about Turkey and Hami’s culture made it even more special. Highly recommend!

We loved the class. We had family from across the United States join. The chef and her team were so professional and so welcoming. The food was delicious. They gave us the opportunity to celebrate as a family even though we can’t get together in person.
Nuray is a delightful person and we had a wonderful time! The dishes she prepared were superb and abundant, and the dinner was one we'll remember for a very long time.
We had a wonderful lunch with Nevin. We learned how to make borek and a zucchini and yogurt dish. Nevin prepared for our meal by making a met-in-your-mouth moussaka. Dessert was a surprise, pumpkin poached in syrup. Our conversation was easy. Nevin speaks English very well. She is a gracious and thoughtful host
