Cooking & Talking

Do you enjoy cooking? Would you also like to practice speaking Turkish while cooking?
Welcome to my special Cooking & Talking Classes!

  • We will cook samples from Turkish cuisine in my kitchen in the morning and savour them afterwards. Turkish will be spoken during the entire activity.
  • There will be a visit to the farmer's market in İçmeler on Wednesday.
  • Classes meet between 10:00 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Monday through Friday

A selection from my menu:

  • hearty soups - my specialty
  • stuffed vegetables (dolma)
  • börek - rolled and baked
  • baked fish
  • delicious starters (meze)

During our cooking sessions, you will learn to speak about things related to the kitchen in Turkish, such as:

  • the names of various objects and kitchen utensils
  • understanding recipes, learning about ingredients
  • asking questions (How should I cut ...?; Could you ...?)
  • general cooking and dinner conversation
