One of my favorite things to cook for my friends and family are mezes. This longtime tradition has helped me perfection different kind of mezes recipes using simple & practical methods. Want to learn how to make them?

Join me at my kitchen with a panoramic Istanbul view on Prince Island for a private cooking workshop and learn all the secrets about how to make tasty mezes. I'll teach you how to prepare classic Turkish appetizers with cuisine influences from the Ottoman, Anatolian Greek, Middle East, Armenian, Circassian and Balkan cultures.

If you are a food lover, this is going to be the best opportunity for you to create delightful dinners back home. Let me know what would you like to learn and I can customize the workshop around your preferences!
