A true in-home Turkish experience—you’re welcomed not just as a guest, but as part of the family.

The focus is as much on conversation and connection as on cooking.

You’ll meet my adorable cat and dog, who are always excited to make new friends.

We’ll end the meal the authentic Turkish way—with fresh coffee, dessert, and maybe even a fortune reading.

You’ll walk away not only with new recipes, but with new memories, friendships, and stories.

Cần Quan Tâm

Step into my Istanbul home and enjoy a hands-on Turkish cooking class with a local host. In this small-group Istanbul cooking experience, you’ll prepare authentic Turkish dishes from scratch and learn the essentials of Turkish home cooking. This is not a demonstration—you’ll be actively cooking, tasting, and creating a full homemade meal in a real local home. Whether you’re a beginner or a food lover, this Turkish cooking class is designed to be relaxed, personal, and fun. Beyond cooking, this experience is about connection. As we cook together, you’ll discover the traditions behind authentic Turkish food and experience genuine Turkish hospitality. Once everything is ready, we’ll sit down and enjoy our meal together, just like a family. My friendly cat and dog may join us, adding to the warm and cozy atmosphere of this home cooking experience. We’ll finish with Turkish coffee and dessert, and if you’d like, a traditional coffee fortune reading. This is more than just a cooking class in Istanbul—it’s a chance to experience local life, share stories, and create lasting memories.

If you want to learn how to make some delicious classic Turkish food, this is the best, most fun way! Ozge is super friendly and fun to talk with. She keeps everything organized and moving at the right pace. We made Börek, a babaganoush variant and a delicious carrot dish. Would recommend!

What an incredible experience with Ozge’s Turkish home cooking class in Istanbul. We felt warmly welcomed the minute we walked in. The class was hands on and so much fun! We made stuffed peppers with ground meat, a delicious smoky eggplant tahini yogurt dip, crispy cheese-filled pastry rolls, and the most flavorful carrot tarator. Every dish was absolutely amazing! Ozge explained everything so well and made the experience feel personal, relaxed, and joyful.. It truly felt like cooking with a friend. If you are visiting Istanbul and want an unforgettable local experience, I highly recommend Ozge’s cooking class! One of the highlights of our trip.
Wonderful experience and delicious food!

We had such a wonderful experience with this cooking class! From the moment we arrived, she made us feel so welcome in her home. She was incredibly hospitable, kind, and thoughtful throughout the entire experience. The food was absolutely delicious, and it was so much fun learning how to prepare everything ourselves. One of the best parts was being given the recipes to take home so we can try making the dishes again ourselves. This felt much more personal and authentic than a typical class, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable experience!
Thanks!

My husband and I really enjoyed cooking with Ozge. She introduced us to lots of cooking secrets that I was excited to learn like using tomato paste, lemon juice and more! She is very friendly and it was wonderful to hear her childhood memories of cooking and eating with her family and how it related to the dishes we prepared. Highly recommend!
Cool and unique afternoon

Ozge's cooking class is a must whenever you come on a visit to Istanbul. Not not only will you be preparing lovely dishes to take back home to your own kitchen but also Ozge offers a perspective on the meals and the culture behind them that goes beyond the mere consumption of food. It's about sharing and learning from each other, all that in a lovely setting. Definitely recommended!
