About this activity

Cooking is at the heart of Turkish family life, and with Sercan, a devoted father and husband, you'll experience it just as locals do. Join him and his family in their home as you chop, knead, and season together, learning not just recipes but the stories and traditions behind them.

Discover how Turkish families bond over food, why slow-cooked dishes hold a special place at the dinner table, and the joy of sharing a homemade meal. More than a class, this is a warm, cultural exchange—filled with flavors, laughter, and meaningful connections.

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.
