About this class

Turkish cuisine is rich, diverse & flavourful perfect for dinner parties & celebrations. Learn to master dishes close to Ada’s heart inspired by their childhood, travels as a film maker and their community.

You will work in pairs to create a vegetarian menu that balances richness and freshness:

• Antalya Piyazı
  A fresh and hearty white bean salad from the Antalya region, dressed with a traditional lemon, olive oil, and tahini sauce, and finished with herbs and vegetables.
• Peynirli Pide
  Traditional Turkish flatbread filled with spinach and cheese and baked until golden. Crispy on the outside, soft in the middle, and perfect for sharing.
• Kabak Tatlısı with Walnut & Tahini Sauce
  Slow-cooked pumpkin dessert served with toasted walnuts and a drizzle of tahini sauce. Naturally sweet, comforting, and deeply rooted in Turkish home cooking.
