Traditional Turkish cuisine is 'world class' and equivalent in it's uniqueness and style as French or Chinese cooking.

Our one day Turkish Country Cooking Course is designed to whet your appetite and take you back to a time when all meals were seasonal, made with local produce and served at a leisurely pace.

You won't become a 'Chef Supremo' in one day, but you will perhaps gain an appreciation of a simpler, more tasty way of preparing, cooking and eating familiar fresh foods.

Our course starts with a visit to the open air market in the town of Mumcular. Every Sunday the whole of the center of Mumcular becomes one big food market selling everything from seasonal fruit and vegetables, yoghurt, cheeses, bread and fish to a whole range of household and clothing items.

After buying all the main ingredients for our late lunch we go to the quaint hillside village of Comlekci. Here we will all help with the preparation and cooking of a range of 'mezzes'. These are the famous tasty Turkish snacks that in combination with fresh locally made bread become an entire meal. Lots of different tastes, served in the traditional Turkish way and accompanied with a glass of Turkish wine or beer.
