Itinerary
Step into the heart of Ankara’s local life with Sercan, a passionate home cook, devoted husband, and proud father. Instead of just visiting Anıtkabir or the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations, experience the city through its flavors and traditions. In this authentic Turkish cooking class in central Ankara, you'll prepare classic homemade dishes just like a Turkish family does. Using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, you'll learn to make dishes such as lahmacun (thin, crispy flatbread with spiced meat), hünkar beğendi (slow-cooked lamb over creamy eggplant purée), or karnıyarık (stuffed eggplant with minced meat and spices), guided by Sercan’s expertise. As you cook, he shares stories of Turkish food culture and daily life. Finally, enjoy your homemade feast with Turkish tea or ayran, just as us, locals do. Whether you're a food lover, couple, or cultural traveler, this Turkish cooking class offers a genuine, hands-on taste of Ankara’s rich culinary traditions.
