1 / 3
Cooking Alaturka - by Management
Description
Cooking Alaturca offers small group and private cooking classes for both lunch and dinner. The classes are conducted in English but for private group it can also be held in Turkish or Italian. Customers will spend 2h30-3h cooking 5 traditional Turkish dishes and then enjoy those around dinner with some wine, beer and/or soft drinks. The venue also operates as a restaurant
Access & Transport
The venue is at Akbiyik Cad. 72a Sultanahmet, which is a 2mins walk southwest of the Blue Mosque.
Instructions & Recommendations
Min. 2 personnes to confirm the class is taking place and max. group size is 10 people. It is also possible to privatize the class with min. 8 pers. (or equivalent price). Reservations may be cancelled up to 48 hours prior to the class
Environmental & Social
Environmentally neutral. From a social perspective, we deem this activity to be positive as it provides a livelihood to independent operators
Conclusion
The dinner cooking class offered by Cooking Alaturca is the perfect opportunity to take a break from visiting mosques and/or shopping and try your hand at Turkish cooking whilst interacting with the chefs and a handful of other customers (group size is kept small). In our opinion, this is one of the better ways to discover the local culture.
Key positive
Located close to major tourist sights and easy to get to
An effective way to discover Turkish cuisine first-hand
Key negative
Quite expensive for Istanbul, especially for a family
Suitability
We are uncertain of age restrictions so best to check directly with the management. Likewise for wheelchair users as there is a short flight of stairs to get in the restaurant and the kitchen counters could be too high.
